TI  - Neotropical primate nursery in a squirrel monkey breeding unit in Brazil.

AB  - Saimiri (squirrel monkey) is a neotropical primate of the Simian genus that has 
      been bred in captivity for the development of research into human and animal 
      health. They have been widely used in studies in ophthalmology, toxicology, 
      pharmacology, psychiatry, neuroscience, vaccines and drug tests (such as malaria 
      and measles agents), as well as effects on interactive behavior and cognition of 
      Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in man. The main concern of non-human primate (NHP) 
      research centers is focused on the establishment of self-sustaining breeding 
      colonies providing good quality research animals. Maternal rejection, dystocia 
      and pneumonia are the main causes of newborn deaths in these species. Therefore, 
      in order to ensure the survival of these valuable animals, the Laboratory Animals 
      Breeding Center of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (CECAL)/Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro, 
      Brazil, has developed a protocol for the nursery rearing of these infants.
