非人灵长类动物属于哺乳纲( Mammalia)、灵长目( Primates),灵长目下分猿猴亚目( Prosimian)和猿亚目( simiae),猿亚目按分布规律可分为新大陆猴和旧陆猴两类。 新大陆猴具有长而能缠绕树枝的尾巴,以绢毛猴、卷尾猴、蜘蛛猴和吼猴为代表,主要分布在中南美洲。

Non-human primates primarily live in the tropical latitudes of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Species that live outside of the tropics include the Japanese macaque which lives in the Japanese islands of Honshū and Hokkaido ; the Barbary macaque which lives in North Africa and several species of langur which live in China.

2023年4月17日 · Non-human primates are a group of mammals that belong to the taxonomy order Primates. They include monkeys, apes, and lemurs, amongst others. Non-human primates share many characteristics with humans, including their social behavior, communication abilities, and facial features.

2025年4月1日 · In this Review, we provide an overview of current knowledge regarding the genetic basis of non-human-primate diversity and adaptation (Table 1). We describe and explore the putative underlying...

Non-human primates (NHPs) have also been used for biomedical research, and are now attracting attention as a model for human development. Here, we summarize primate species from the evolutionary and genomic points of view. Then we review the current issues and progress in gene modification technology for NHPs.

Nonhuman primates are natural hosts for a variety of infectious agents, many of which are zoonotic, and are also susceptible to many human infectious diseases, such as measles and tuberculosis.

2018年9月1日 · Non-human primates replicate the human aging process. Rhesus monkeys are a well characterized and extremely useful aging model. The common marmoset is a developing aging model that holds great promise. Resources exist to assist those wanting to use non-human primate aging models.

Nonhuman primates represent a small fraction of animals used in biomedical research, but they remain important research models due to their similarities to humans with respect to genetic makeup, anatomy, physiology, and behavior.

Non-human primates alert us to the many, often uncanny similarities between humans and other animals, and the behaviors that define human distinctiveness. Studies of monkeys and apes in their natural settings in particular help us to model the ecological and social circumstances under which novel human behaviors arose.

2023年5月4日 · Nonhuman primates represent a small fraction of animals used in biomedical research, but they remain important research models due to their similarities to humans with respect to genetic makeup, anatomy, physiology, and behavior.
