Callithrix

VN neurogenesis in Common Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) was detected in the late embryo from about E70 (gestation stage 19) (Phillips, 1976). At birth, these monkeys do show a distinct VNO, but one with...

Dimethylarsinic acid is the major metabolite of orally administered arsenic trioxide, and is excreted rapidly in the urine (Yamauchi and Yamamura 1985). The methylation process is true detoxification, since methanearsonates and cacodylates are about 200 times less toxic than sodium arsenite (NAS 1977). The marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus), unlike all other animal species studied to date, was not able (for unknown reasons) to metabolize administered As+5 to demethylarsinic acid most was reduced to As+3. Only 20% of the total dose was excreted in urine as unchanged As+5, and another 20% as As+3. The rest was bound to tissues, giving distribution patterns similar to arsenite (Vahter and Marafante 1985). Accordingly, the marmoset, like the rat, may be unsuitable for research with arsenicals.

Carlos Chagas discovered a new flagellated pathogenic protozoan species, and named it Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanzonum) crnzi. The symptoms caused by this protozoan infection were first described for marmoset (Callithrix penicillata). After that, Berenice, a 2-year-old girl, was the first case of what would be considered a new human disease (Kropf and Sa, 2009 Scliar, 2002 Voelker, 2009 WHO, 2009).
