▼ The recent turn toward environmental studies in humanities scholarship, has contributed to an influx of Shakespearean scholarship that centers on the "natural." Macbeth has long been identified as Shakespeare's most `natural' play. The text is riddled with references to weather, animals, and nature which have made it a popular text to explore from an ecocritical perspective. While a good deal of scholarly work has considered notions of the uncanny and the animal in Macbeth, few scholars have connected these ideas with notions of the primitive, a concept worth exploring as a connection to a `natural,' or undeveloped, sentiment that resonates with the emergence of a green Shakespeare. Macbeth offers a primitivism in which the primitive figure confronts the early modern subject as opposed to being summoned from a retrospective sentimentality. To illuminate this reading, I look primarily at encounters with figures embodying the primitive sensibilities the early modern subject would have been expected to have surmounted, namely, the ability to reason and act in accordance with morality rather than instinct.

▼ This study was aimed at determining population status of gelada
baboon and human - wildlife
conflict around Denkoro Forest. The study was conducted from August 2008 to March 2009.
The main objective was to find out gelada
baboon population by age and sex classes. The
second was to identify if there was a significant crop and livestock depredation caused by wild
mammals. The methods employed for human-wildlife conflict were face-to-face questionnaire
interview of 250 randomly selected local residents and direct observation on the crop damage
by wild animals. The method employed for population estimation of gelada
baboon was total
count in the entire study area. Data were analyzed using one way ANOVA, student’s t-test and
chi-square test. The result of the analysis of the data collected through questionnaire survey
indicated that crop losses per hectare ranged from 3% for potato to 15% for wheat. However,
results of direct observations indicated that the loss ranged from 3.2% for potato to 12.6% for
barley. Gelada
baboon, rabbit, hamadryas
baboon and bushbuck were the top four crop raiders
in the study area. Leopard, common jackal and hayaena were the common predators. On the
average, 0.6 livestock per household was preyed annually and the amount of monetary loss due
to predation was Birr 313 per household. The present study also revealed that a total of 914 and
988 gelada populations occurred in the study area during the wet and the dry seasons,
respectively. As the Denkoro Forest was surrounded by extensive farmlands, the area needs a
close follow up and detailed studies to identify current human-wildlife conflict in the area.

Investigation of the Behavioural Response of a Colony of Group-Housed
Hamadryas Baboons (Papio Cynocephalus Hamadryas) to Relocation to a More Naturalistic Enclosure.

▼ As part of Wellington Zoo’s current management philosophy to reduce the number of species and increase enclosure size, quality and appropriateness for those remaining animals, the zoo’s colony of hamadryas baboons (Papio cynocephalus hamadryas) was relocated within the zoo to a purpose-designed and more naturalistic exhibit.
The primary objective of this investigation was to determine group and individual responses of five of these baboons to their new enclosure. In so doing, this investigation was intended to address the shortage of quantitative, species-specific information on environmental enrichment for Papio baboons (Kessel and Brent
1996).
The data collection method used in this investigation consisted of fifteen-minute focal sampling of each of the five focal animals in the two months before and the month following the colony’s relocation. For the purposes of this investigation, these focal samples were initially analysed together, prior to each focal animal being
considered independently. Analysis of data extracted from these focal samples included consideration of:
• The overall occurrence of individual behaviours between the former and new enclosures;
• Additions to the animals’ behavioural repertoires upon relocation; and,
• Time the animals spent alone and interacting socially.
Upon the colony’s relocation, changes in the combined focal animals’ behaviour were anticipated as a result of greater space, areas of privacy, and increased environmental variation. Focal sampling revealed increasingly naturalistic behaviours, including a reduction in vacuum and vestigial behaviours, and an increase in speciestypical
behaviour. Results also indicated that the combined focal animals experienced unexpectedly low levels of “agonistic” (i.e. aggressive) behaviour in both enclosures. However, there was a reduction in some associated behaviours upon the colony’s relocation. This included a decline in male rivalry over females.
Differences in the responses of individual focal animals to relocation were also anticipated. Of particular interest were results indicating an increasing similarity of individual roles within one-male units to those of free-ranging
hamadryas baboons. These roles were associated with both age and sex.
This study raises implications for improving the current management of the Wellington Zoo colony and other captive hamadryas
baboon colonies. These include emphasising the importance of appropriate husbandry and feeding schedules. It also raises implications for the future management of other captive Papio
baboon colonies
in terms of enclosure redesign. These include the benefit of incorporating naturally occurring environmental factors, such as natural leaf litter.
This study is also of value from a management perspective as a baseline for future investigations. Such investigations could include long-term monitoring of this colony’s use of environmental enrichment in the new enclosure and consideration of the animals’ behaviour as the colony is encouraged to expand.

▼ Biogeographic knowledge of the chacma
baboon (Papio ursinus) is generalised and imprecise. Published distributions are qualitative and actual population counts and location data are few and spatially limited. This research attempts to provide quantitative data to allow repeatable biogeographic assessments of the chacma
baboon. Where actual data counts are unknown and impractical to assess, this research provides estimates that, unlike the qualitative data of the past, can be easily updated, validated and remeasured with higher precision. These issues are first addressed by modelling the distribution of chacma
baboon habitat and, by association, the potential distribution of the species prior to anthropogenic influence. This is the first quantitative detailed distribution estimate available at a continental scale. Next, anthropogenic influence is explored by assessing the human impact on areas predicted to be the most conducive to species survival. Findings suggest much of the land designated as central niche habitat (land most buffered from the environmental extremes experienced by the population) is impacted by human occupation. The majority of this habitat is within South Africa and the status of baboons in Lesotho appears to be unknown. A case study from the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, assesses the current population and distribution, finding the population dependent on protected areas and likely in decline. To better understand the species history, the central niche was then investigated through a glacial-interglacial cycle. This indicated a reciprocal relationship of expansion and contraction between the chacma clades. It also identified key areas with stable moderate environmental conditions that would have been central niche habitat regardless of the stage of the glacial-interglacial cycle. Finally, this research explored an association between this ancient habitat prediction and fossil hominins. Although potentially coincidental, it appears there may be a biogeographic bias to the fossil hominin locations. A model of potential hominin core habitat was developed to explore this. My research has provided essential baseline data and knowledge which was a necessary step towards accumulating quality data for future scientific, conservation or management efforts.

▼ Primates have more distally distributed limb mass than many other mammalian quadrupeds because of their adaptations for grasping hands and feet. Although researchers have noted primates’ unique limb shape, the effects of this limb mass distribution pattern on quadrupedal mechanics have yet to be examined. Some researchers have predicted that distally distributed limb mass produces relatively low stride frequencies. Others have predicted that distally distributed limb mass leads to increased energetic costs of locomotion because distal mass requires more work to move the limbs during locomotion.
This study uses an ontogenetic sample of infant baboons (Papio cynocephalus) to test these predictions. Infants have mass distributed more distally than adults because infant primates must grasp their mothers’ hair during their early development. Infants’ limb mass migrates proximally as their need to grasp their mothers’ hair decreases with
age. To examine the effects of limb mass distribution on the mechanics of quadrupedalism, inertial properties, quadrupedal kinematics, and mechanical work were measured during ontogeny in a sample of infant baboons.
When the infant baboons are young and have limb mass most distally concentrated, they use lower stride frequencies and longer strides compared to older ages, when limb mass is more proximally concentrated. These kinematic changes have important effects on their mechanical energy outputs. The lower stride frequencies used by infant baboons at young ages mitigates the amount of work it takes to move their limbs relative to their body.
In comparison to other mammals, infant baboons have lower stride frequencies and longer strides. They also do less work to move their limbs, but due to longer strides and therefore larger vertical oscillations of their centers of mass, the infant baboons do larger amounts of work moving their whole body center of mass. As a result, the infant baboons do similar amounts of total work compared to other mammals, suggesting a trade-off mechanism that allows total work to be independent of limb shape.
Overall, the results from this study suggest that the adaptations for grasping hands and feet in primates have had profound effects on their kinematics, while likely having little effect on their total energy expenditure.

▼ A study on human - wildlife conflict involving Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) and gelada
baboon (Theropithicus gelada) in and around Guassa Community Conservation Area was
conducted from September, 2009 to May, 2010. The objective of this study was to fill
information gap on human wildlife conflict and attitude of local people towards wildlife in
the country. Data on human wildlife interaction were collected based on the direct
interview questionnaire, by direct observation on crop damage by gelada
baboon, focus
group discussion and by collection of faecal dropping sample of Ethiopian wolf and gelada
baboon. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and
one way ANOVA. The analysed data showed that 44.4% of the respondents faced both the
problems of crop damage and livestock predation, 10.8% faced crop damage, 36% faced
predation and the rest 8.8% of the respondents didn’t face any conflict by wildlife. The
average annual crop loss due to gelada
baboon per house hold was 0.63 ± 0.05 quintal.
Villages differed significantly (F6 243 = 49.75, P < 0.001) in terms of annual crop loss by
gelada
baboon. There was severing conflict between gelada
baboon and local people in
Yegora, Defergie, Alfa and Tebab, but no conflict in Tarete, Ferkuta and Agancht. A total
of 2652m2 crop farm was raided and trampled during the time of observation. Only 16.8%
of the respondents reported the depredation of sheep by Ethiopian wolf. Villages not
differed significantly (χ2 = 2.32, df = 6, P > 0.05) in the response of depredation of sheep
by Ethiopian wolf. From the faecal dropping analysis, only 1.1% showed sheep prey. The
average sheep loss per house hold in the last five years was 0.20 ± 0.03. 88.8%, 6.4% and
4.8% of the respondents had positive, negative and neutral attitude towards wildlife,
respectively. 63.6% of the respondents had positive attitude whereas 28% had negative
attitude towards gelada
baboon. The attitudes of the respondents towards the gelada
baboon was negatively correlated with crop damage (r = -0.31, P < 0.001). 88.4% of the
respondents had positive attitude towards Ethiopian wolf. Villages not differed
significantly (χ2 = 9.815, df = 12, P > 0.05) in their attitude towards Ethiopian wolf.

▼ Gelada
baboon (Theropithecus gelada) belongs to one of the few primate genera endemic to
Ethiopia. Theropithecus gelada is the only living species of its genus. The present research was
conducted from August 2010 to May 2011 to determine the habitat preference, population size,
feeding ecology, distribution pattern, activity and ranging patterns of the gelada
baboon subspecies
(Theropithecus gelada unnamed sub-species), in Indato cliff, eastern Arsi, Ethiopia.
Vegetation composition in the home range was determined by quadrat sampling method. The
activity pattern, feeding ecology and ranging behaviour were studied with 15 minutes interval
scan sampling. The population size of the geladas was determined from total (direct) count. A
total of 529 individuals were recorded with a density of 0.34 gelada
baboon/km2. Feeding
comprised the major activity (41.73%), followed by moving (20.27%), resting (18.98%),
grooming (9.2%), playing (5.1%), aggression (3.26%), sexual activity (1.43%) and drinking
(0.03%). Adult females spend 45.77% of the time feeding and 15.71% of their time resting.
Adult males spend 39.23% of their time feeding and 29.21% through resting. The overall diet
composition of gelada
baboon was dominated by short grass blades contributing to 34.87%.
Grass roots and long grass blades made the second and third largest portion of the overall diet of
gelada baboons at 25.24% and 18.67%, respectively. Gelada
baboon also consumed unidentified
tubers (7.54%), herb leaves (7.30%), others (3.01%), herb roots (1.69%) and corms (1.67%).
Gelada
baboon consumed a total of 10 plant species which accounted for 100% of their diet over
the course of the study period. Of these, the top four accounted for 97.21% of their overall diet.
Jaldoo (Hyparrhenia sp) contributed 49.37% and Qarasoo (Hyparrhenia hirta) contributed
38.11% of their diet. The mean daily range length for the study troop was 1004.6 m and the
average home range size was 4.91km2. The narrow ecological niche of the species may be a
threat for its survival due to grazing by cattle. Appropriate management action should be taken to
conserve the species and their most important food resources.

▼ Heterosexual transmission accounts for majority of human immunodeficiency VIruS (HIV)
infection among adults in developing countries. The risk of female to male transmission of HIV
is likely to be determined by concentration of virus and the local immune response to the virus in
the cervicovaginal secretions (CVS) of the infected women. A better understanding of the
correlates of genital shedding of HIV may significantly aid preventive measures aimed at
reducing this transmission. Recent studies suggest a possible role of female genital immune
response in preventing HIV infection. Both local immune response and the viral load in genital
secretions may be influenced by the stage of the menstrual cycle. This may determine when the
female is most vulnerable to HIV infection or can transmit the virus most efficiently. These
issues can only be best investigated in a suitable animal model. Currently, simian
immunodeficiency virus (SfV) infection of macaques is regarded as the best model since it
mimics HIV infection in various ways. However, existing differences in envelope glycoproteins
between the two viruses limit the use of the SIV/macaque model in HIV -1 vaccine trials and for
molecular studies assessing envelope determinants of HIV -1 pathogenicity. Simian/Human
immmunodeficiency virus (SHIV) infection of baboons provides suitable alternative for such
studies. This project assessed the relationship of the menstrual cycle to genital mucosal and
systemic immunity, and to viral shedding within cervicovaginal secretions of female olive
baboons (Papia anubis) experimentally inoculated with SHIV-89.6P.
Cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) and blood from two SHIV-89.6P infected (n=Z) and two
uninfected (n=2) adult female baboons were sampled at three stages namely; menstruation
(men), mid-follicular (mfl) and luteal (Jut) stages of two successive cycles. Isolation of cell-free
XI
virus was attempted from plasma and CVL by limiting culture dilution method. The presence of
virus was confirmed by SIV p27 core antigen assay. SHIV-specific immnoglobulins A (IgA) and
immunoglobulin G (IgG) were detected in both CVL and plasma by ELISA and confirmed by
Hlv-I and Hl V-Z Western blots. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) for estradiol (E2) and progesterone
(P4) in plasma was performed to corroborate the perineal skin swelling with the menstrual cycle
stage.
The cyclical changes in blood levels of E2 and P4 correlated positively with the menstrual cycle
stage as determined by perineal skin swelling. Infected animals were able to secrete SlIlvspecific
antibodies in their genital fluids. Detection of SillV -specific IgA and IgG in CVL
appeared to be influenced by the stage of the menstrual cycle. Similarly, anti-SHIV IgG titers in
CVL varied with the menstrual cycle, being highest during menses, lower in luteal stage and not
detectable in mid-follicular stage of the two successive menstrual cycles. On the other hand, a
menstrual cycle-dependent variation in IgG titers in plasma was not observed, probably
indicating a lack…

▼ Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign gynecological diseases and is known to occur in 7-10% of women of reproductive age. It is now well established that three different forms of endometriosis must be considered in the pelvis: peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis and deep endometriotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum. Most of these lesions originate from the posterior part of the cervix (types II & III) and secondarily infiltrate the anterior wall of the rectum (type III).
This study focuses on the characterization of deep endometriotic nodules, and more specifically type III nodules, which are one the most painful and least characterized forms of endometriosis. Our main objective was to gain further insights into invasion processes leading to infiltration of the rectal wall and surrounding organs by endometriotic lesions (proliferation of glands and stroma). The project was divided into 5 parts:
1. In the first part, we reported the largest clinical series of surgical removal of type III deep endometriotic nodules. Our data confirm that a conservative surgical approach offers good results in terms of quality of life, recurrence and pregnancy. When compared to the existing literature, the shaving technique has a lower complication rate than more radical surgery. The shaving technique should be offered as a first-line surgical approach in case of type III nodules. Bowel resection should be reserved for cases with complete stenosis, whose prevalence is relatively low (less than 2%).
2. In the second part, we described iatrogenic adenomyotic lesions. Radiological, laparoscopic, and histological findings in iatrogenic nodules were similar to those in type III nodular endometriosis. Indeed, iatrogenic lesions were found to resemble adenomyomas, circumscribed nodular aggregates of smooth muscle, endometrial glands and stroma. From analysis of these lesions, the role of the junctional zone (JZ) was highlighted. Indeed, we proved that a fragment of tissue containing both endometrium and subendometrial myometrium (the so-called JZ) was able to induce adenomyotic tumor development.
3. In the third part, we induced endometriotic nodules in an experimental
baboon model, mimicking human deep nodular endometriotic lesions. It was demonstrated that induced nodular endometriotic lesions were significantly larger and showed a stronger invasion process when tissue specimens containing the JZ were grafted. In this experimental model, the JZ was also found to be a key element in the process of proliferation and invasion of induced nodular lesions.
4. In the fourth part, we analyzed nerve densities in type III nodules and induced experimental nodules. As NFD was confirmed to be high in human endometriotic nodules, and most of these nerve fibers were found to be unmyelinated, they could well be implicated in pain. Moreover, we demonstrated that deep nodular lesions may be neuroattractive through the action of NGF. In the experimental model, nerve fiber density was investigated and the kinetics of neurogenesis was…

▼ This thesis uses a number of novel methods to investigate how various measures of individual energetic status and condition vary within and between two troops of olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis) in Gashaka Gumti National Park, Nigeria. One troop is entirely wild-feeding whilst the other supplements its diet with crop-raiding, behaviour previously suggested to provide energetic benefits. Observations of activity budgets and feeding behaviour were combined with nutritional analyses of food samples to estimate energetic intake and expenditure amongst adult female baboons. Glucocorticoid (stress hormone), progesterone (reproductive hormone) and urinary C-peptide (an indicator of energetic status) levels of the same animals were assessed via analyses of faecal and urine samples. These data were used to investigate the effect of food-enhancement, between troops; the effect of reproductive state and rank, within troops; and the effect of variation in weather conditions and food availability across the nine month study period. Benefits of crop-raiding behaviour included elevated resting time, energy intake rates and reproductive success, and reduced feeding time and glucocorticoid levels in the crop-raiding troop as compared to the wild-feeding troop. Food-enhancement also appears to have buffered the crop-raiding troop’s energetic status and stress levels against the effects of environmental stressors. Within troops, energy intake and expenditure rates varied between individuals in different reproductive states but not different ranks and neither factor significantly affected C-peptide or glucocorticoid levels. Rainfall had a considerable but variable influence on the baboons, being correlated with both positive and negative aspects of their behaviour and condition. Gashaka represents an extreme habitat for baboons, with high rainfall creating both a food and disease rich environment. The results of this study suggest that while low to moderate rainfall brings benefits, via increased food availability, heavy rainfall exerts a negative influence on the Gashaka baboons via increased disease risk.

▼ Microbial communities that reside in the
mammalian gut, commonly referred to as the gut microbiome, have
profound consequences for host physical functioning, with
well-described roles in digestion, vitamin synthesis, and immune
regulation. However, our understanding of the factors that shape
gut microbial composition, and the relative importance of these
forces across scales, is limited. To wit, my dissertation research
seeks to answer two main questions: how does a host’s genetic,
social, and ecological context shape the gut microbiome? And,
furthermore, do the contributions of these factors change across
scales, from individual hosts, to their societies and
populations? To address these questions, I used
behavioral, environmental, microbial, and genetic analyses to
investigate predictors of gut microbial heterogeneities at the
level of the host individual, the social group, the population, and
the host species. I did so using data from a well-studied
population of wild baboons in the Amboseli Ecosystem in Kenya that
has become a model for microbiome research. I found that
baboon gut
microbiomes were strongly predicted by host environments at
multiple scales, including both social and abiotic environmental
conditions. For instance, for individuals sampled over several
years, rainfall and diet were the most important predictors of gut
microbiome composition. Over short time scales, social groups
harbored distinctive gut microbiota, and immigrant males acquired
the local microbiome when they joined a new group. Further, social
groups with larger home ranges and more environmental resources
harbored more diverse gut microbiota, and social groups that shared
environmental resources likewise shared more microbial taxa than
pairs of groups with less overlap. Finally, to explore large-scale
processes, I tested predictors of gut microbiome composition from
baboons living in multiple sites across a hybrid zone in southern
Kenya. I found that soil properties were the best predictors of
between-population gut microbial heterogeneities, with much
stronger effects than either host genetics or geographic distance.
Overall, my dissertation lends new insight into the dominant forces
shaping the gut microbiome in a wild, group-living animal, and how
the gut microbiome is sculpted at the level of the individual,
social group, population, and species.

▼ The bacterial population of the vaginal canal is a primate infant’s first exposure to the microbial community inhabiting the outside world. Yet, little is known about this community and the effect it might have on the development and survival of the infant. Humans and Papio baboons share considerable anatomical and physiological similarities in their reproductive tracts. Accordingly, we might expect that the vaginal microbiota of baboons would be similar to that of humans. To characterize the vaginal microbiota of a nonhuman primate, we used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to evaluate variations in the vaginal microbiota of a group of 35 baboons housed in a facility where they shared the same diet and the same environmental conditions. We also used a 16S rRNA phylogenetic approach to assess the composition of the
baboon vaginal microbiota in a subset of animals from this facility and from the wild. We found that despite the uniform environment, there were appreciable differences in the composition of the microbiota from one individual to another in the captive subjects. Our results also indicate that a simple swab test is sufficient for sampling of the vaginal microbiota in the field, a finding that should help make future, more detailed characterization of the microbiota of wild primates feasible.
Previous human vaginal microbiota studies have shown that Firmicutes (mostly Lactobacillus spp.) predominate in the human vagina, with Actinobacteria (Gardnerella vaginalis) and Proteobacteria present in lower numbers. By contrast, Papio baboons harbored species not only of Firmicutes but also of Fusobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Spirochaetes phyla that are not normally abundant in humans. Moreover, the Firmicutes found in baboons were different from those found in humans, consisting mainly of clostridia rather than lactobacilli. A further level of difference was also seen within the same phylogenetic groups where
baboon bacterial species clustered separately from those reported in humans. Results of our analyses imply that co-evolution of microbes and hosts cannot account for the major differences between the microbiota of baboons and that of humans, because divergences between the major genera were too ancient to have occurred since primates appeared. Instead, the primate vaginal tracts appear to have acquired discrete subsets of bacteria from the vast diversity of bacteria available in the environment and established a community responsive to and compatible with host species physiology.

▼ The potential importance of food availability and predation as selective forces in social evolution has been hypothesized by the socioecological models (Wrangham 1980; van Schaik 1989; Isbell, 1991; Sterck et al. 1997). Traditional socioecological models explain primate social behavior in relation to factors such as the abundance and distribution of food resources as well as the risk of predation - all of which are potentially and substantially impacted by a range of anthropogenic processes. It is from this premise I studied the olive baboon’s (Papio hamadryas anubis) adaptive behavior in contrasting land use systems. I further complemented this approach by exploring human–baboon interactions in various land use systems to better understand associated patterns of coexistence through tests of Wildlife value Orientation models (WVO) (Fulton et al. 1996; Ingelhart and Baker 2000; Manfredo and Dayer 2004; Teel et al. 2007). The premise of these models is human interactions with wildlife are derived directly from basic values people have towards nature. I, therefore, explored the values associated with land use practices. The overarching question for this study is – How do different anthropogenically modified habitats influence primate adaptive social behavior and patterns of human-primate symbiosis? I examined this question using baboon behavioral data as well as semi-structured and structured interviews with people in different land use system during a 21 month field study in Laikipia District, Kenya. I found that variation in food availability in different land use systems was the most important factor influencing baboon aggressive behaviors. This indicates that humans are also key agents in reinforcing the selective pressures of ecological factors that potentially influence primate adaptive behavior. Further, my interview data revealed that people’s values towards baboons were not associated with land use systems, but rather with the duration of living in areas with baboons, level of education, and land tenure systems. Land use, on the other hand, was a prominent factor associated with people’s reported direct interactions with baboons and the motivations underlying their encounters with them. My dissertation contributes towards a more integrated synthesis of our understanding of primate social evolution and coevolution of human-nonhuman primate symbiosis.

▼ Relationships with relatives are arguably the principal organizing feature of mammalian sociality. Studies of nonhuman primates, in particular, demonstrate the importance of kinship in the evolution of affiliative behaviors. The majority of these studies, however, have focused on relatedness expressed through the mother. Although all individuals have a father, less is known about the importance of paternal kinship. My dissertation seeks to expand our understanding of the role of paternal kinship in a matrilocal society by answering the following questions: 1) how do social bonds between different kin types vary?; 2) how does the presence of both mothers and fathers in groups influence the foraging behaviors of juveniles?; and 3) how do juveniles feed near same-aged peers of different kin types? I examined these questions using behavioral and genetic data collected on wild olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis) during a 14 month study in Kenya. My research indicates that both maternal and paternal kinship play several important roles in the social and foraging behaviors of young baboons. First, paternal half-siblings maintained social bonds with one another of intermediate strength, i.e., weaker than those characterizing maternal half-siblings, but significantly stronger than the relations of unrelated conspecifics. Moreover, these bonds of paternal half siblings were significantly stronger when their shared father was present in the group than when he was absent, suggesting familiarity through associating with the father is the mechanism underlying recognition of paternal half-siblings. This study also found that both mothers and fathers enhanced the foraging success of juveniles under certain conditions. In resource patches likely to engender contest competition, juveniles fed for longer periods when mothers were present. For foods requiring skill to extract and consume, immatures fed longer when near a parent of the same sex. These data suggest that parents may: 1) mitigate the costs of feeding competition; and 2) facilitate the learning process for consuming difficult-to-acquire food. Finally, the foraging of immature baboons was also improved by the presence of paternal and maternal juvenile half-siblings. This study contributes to our understanding of the adaptive significance of kinship in expanding our understanding of the evolution of social behavior.

▼ Le raisonnement par analogie est un aspect fondamental de la cognition humaine souvent considéré comme propre à notre espèce. Des travaux récents utilisant des tâches d'appariement relationnel suggèrent que des chimpanzés, des babouins et des capucins sont également capables de comparer des relations exprimées par des paires d'objets. Cependant, des doutes persistent quant aux stratégies cognitives qu'ils emploient pour résoudre ces tâches, et notamment l'implication du raisonnement par analogie. Cette thèse a pour objectif (1) de déterminer ces stratégies chez le babouin, (2) d'appréhender les facteurs permettant leur émergence et (3) plus généralement de caractériser les continuités et discontinuités entre l'homme et les primates non humains dans leur capacité à raisonner par analogie. Nous avons conduit trois études chez le babouin de Guinée pour aborder ces questions. La première montre que le traitement relationnel chez le babouin implique, comme chez l'homme, à la fois une prise en compte des propriétés des objets et de leurs relations. La seconde étude montre que les babouins utilisent le raisonnement par analogie pour résoudre une tâche d'appariement relationnel puisqu'ils traitent trois niveaux d'informations ; à savoir (1) les objets, (2) les relations entre objets et (3) des relations entre ces relations. La troisième étude montre leur capacité à traiter des relations multidimensionnelles dans une version plus complexe de la tâche d'appariement relationnel. Dans une perspective évolutive, nous discutons des implications de ces travaux du point de vue des continuités et discontinuités entre l'homme et les primates non humains dans leurs capacités d'analogie.
Analogical reasoning is a cornerstone aspect of human cognition, often considered to be human specific. Recent experiments using relational matching-to-sample (RMTS) tasks suggest that chimpanzees, baboons and capuchin monkeys can understand and compare the relations expressed between and within pairs of objects. However, the exact strategies used by these species to solve analogy problem remain unclear at this point. We conducted three studies exploring different aspects of analogical reasoning in the Guinea baboons (Papio papio). The first study showed that (1), as in human, relational processing in baboons involves the processing of both perceptive and relational information, and that (2) the relative contribution of these two types of processing depends on the number of items illustrating each relation during training. The second study showed that the cognitive strategy developed by baboons in a RMTS task involves analogical reasoning. The third study emphasized the ability of baboons to process multidimensional relations in a more complex version of the RMTS task. Altogether, these findings from suggest that (1) baboons are able to use analogical reasoning, to solve at least tasks involving perceptive relations; (2) relational processing and further analogical reasoning skills depend on their previous experience with the different relations.

▼ This study documents human-wildlife (the Ethiopian wolf and gelada baboon) conflict in and around the
Simien Mountains National Park. Data were collected in between September, 2005 up to March, 2006
with fragmented short term stay by means of face-to-face questionnaire interview and by direct
observation on the crop damage caused by gelada baboon. The Ethiopian wolf and gelada baboon faecal
dropping samples were also collected to compare the result with the questionnaire survey. Data were
analyzed using descriptive statistics and responses compared using Chi-square test and one-way
ANOVA. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the attitude of respondents towards Ethiopian
wolf and gelada baboon and to determine the factors that cause crop loss by gelada baboon. The analysis
indicated that 74.3% of the respondents had positive attitude towards wildlife. There was significant
negative correlation (r = -0.28, P<0.001) between problems caused by the wildlife and conservation
attitude. 73.1% of the respondents had positive attitude towards the Ethiopian wolf and 70.3% of the
respondents had positive attitude towards gelada baboon. There was negative correlation (r = -0.2, P<
0.001) between the attitude towards gelada baboon and crop loss. 6.9% of the respondents reported that
they faced crop damage to wildlife where as 25.6% reported the problem of livestock predation to
wildlife. 46.6% reported both the problem of livestock predation and crop damage. The result also
indicated that 18.3% of the respondents reported the loss of sheep to the Ethiopian wolf. The average and
the probability of sheep loss to the Ethiopian wolf per year per household were 0.62 + 0.09 and 0.2%
respectively. 97.8% of the Ethiopian wolf faecal dropping samples accounted for rodent prey where as
1.4% constituted sheep prey. Loss of livestock to common jackal, leopard, spotted hyena and hamadryas
baboon has also been observed. The average crop loss by gelada baboon per household per year was 1.17
+ 0.1 quintal. But significant difference (F 7 292 = 13.49, P<0.001) between villages in terms of crop loss
by gelada baboon. There was also correlation (r = 0.43, P<0.001) between the type of crop grown and the
type of crop damaged. Other crop raiders like hamadryas baboon, vervet monkey and crested porcupine
were also observed. In general, there was strong conflict between gelada baboon and the surrounding
people in some parts of the study area and there was some conflict with the Ethiopian wolf. Therefore,
possible solution should be met to alleviate the problem.

▼ Guassa area has a total area of 111km 2. Before the present study, no
comprehensive census of geladas in the Guassa area had been carried out. The
method used to census geladas living at Guassa was a total count. In addition,
the age-sex structure of the geladas, the number of one male units (OMUs) per
band, the size and composition of OMU and all male group (AMG), in the
gelada population were investigated. A total of 1506 and 1543 geladas were
counted during wet and dry seasons respectively. The adult sex ratio for both
wet and dry seasons was 1:2.8 in favour of females. When the bachelors were
excluded from the analysis, there were 4.1 adult females for each adult male.
The ratio of sub adults, young, and infants to adults was 1:1.2. The ratio of
adult females to infants was 1:2.5. With regard to the number of OMUs per
band, there were 18.0 and 18.4 during wet and dry seasons respectively. The
mean OMU size during the wet season was 12.15 of which 4.13 were adult
females, 0.66 were sub-adult males,1.92 sub adult females, 2.64 young and 1.70
infants. During the dry season, the mean OMU size was 1166 which was
composed of 4.12 adult females, 0.59 sub-adult males, 1.93 sub adult females,
2.50 young and 1.46 infants. The mean AMG size during the wet season was
6.41. During the dry season, the mean size of AMG was 6.23.. The ratio of
AMGs to OMUs was 1:10.0 and 1: 10.5 during the wet and dry seasons
respectively. Generally, there was no significant difference among the total
population number, age-sex categories, and the number of OMUs per band, the
size and composition of OMU and the size of AMG during dry and wet season.
Though the actual size of the gelada population is significantly lower than the
expected, based on previous unpublished report of Fashing and Nguyen, 2007,
the overall condition of the current population does not appear to be in
jeopardy. But there are many conservation threats such as habitat degradation,
introduction of non-native plant species and harvesting/gathering, which are
7
directly or indirectly related with the growth of population in the area that will
threat the future survival of the species.

▼ The population status and distribution of gelada
baboon in Cliff Azwa and
Arego was investigated and test statistics was applied to age-sex categorical variable. The
study area was stratified into five study blocks namely Aba Tasho, Aba Gude, Doro
Mezeleya, Azwa and Dikule genet. The study was carried out from August, 2008 to
March, 2009. Data on movement, distribution and human gelada interaction were
collected in the area based on the questionairre survey and field observation. Data were
analyzed using descriptive statistics, and responses were compared using t-test and one-
way ANOVA to compare age-sex categorical variables. The population size and
abundance of geladas in the area was determined from total (direct) count. A total of 338
individual geladas were recorded with a density for the entire region of 0.071
geladas/km2 and actual density specific for the home ranges was 6.22/km2. Of this, males
were 74, females 186 and juveniles 78. There was significant difference (P<0.05)
between males and females, males and juveniles and females and juveniles. Large
number of infants indicates that the population is increasing. Geladas spent more time
feeding (57.26 %). Other activities such as vocalization, defecation and looking at the
observer were the least (2.33%) in their time budget. They depend on grass during the
wet season (82.77%) but during the dry season, they fed on roots (38.71%) and leaves
(38.5%) in larger proportion and almost in equivalent amount. There are significant
differences (P<0.05) on the type of food taken during the dry and wet seasons.

▼ Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an extremely complex endocrine and metabolic disease, and the two major causes are impaired insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance in several organs and tissues. A non-human primate is an invaluable model for the study of human diseases due to their close genetic, anatomical and physiological similarities to humans. They are widely used in biomedical research aiming to elucidate the physiological and molecular mechanisms of different diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, age-related changes in metabolic parameters, obesity, T2DM, atherosclerosis etc.
This entire project has different aims; the first is to confirm that baboons are a very suitable model for studying metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, age-related changes in metabolic parameters, obesity etc, and confirm baboons as a model in a physical activity studies related to improving health and well-being. In fact, the first study was conducted to evaluate the SenseWear® Armband (SWA), a metabolic holter used in humans to estimate the resting and the total energy expenditure in
baboon and verify his reliability to estimate energy expenditure during resting and different activities also in non-human primates.
The second and more complex study was related to elucidate, at least in part, the effects of a continuous infusion of a medication for the treatment of T2DM (Exenatide) in a non-human primate, in a model with impaired β-cell function, reporting a insulin sensitizing effect in the Exenatide-treated group, an increase insulin sensitivity and β-cells function and decrease in total body weight. This type of research could be extremely valuable for helping to develop potential new treatments for T2DM.
In conclusion, in the first study we demonstrated that the SWA is a reliable and simple method to estimate total energy expenditure (TEE) and resting energy expenditure (REE) in non-human primate, baboons, by placing it in the “metabolic jacket”.
In the second study we found a powerful, direct, insulin sensitizing effect of EXE on normal glucose tolerant baboons.
These studies provide novel solid basis for further clinical trials aimed at preserving and supporting subjects with diabetes or at high risk of developing it.

▼ In many species, early life experiences have striking effects on health, reproduction, and survival in adulthood. Thus, early life conditions shape a range of evolutionarily relevant traits, and in doing so alter the genotype-phenotype relationship and the phenotypic distribution on which selection acts. Because of the key role early life effects play in generating variation in fitness-related traits, understanding their evolution and mechanistic basis is crucial. To gain traction on these topics, my dissertation draws on ecological, demographic, and genomic data from a long-term study population of wild baboons in Amboseli, Kenya to address three major themes: (i) the adaptive significance of early life effects, (ii) the molecular mechanisms that connect early life experiences with later life traits, and (iii) the development of laboratory tools for understanding the role of one particular mechanism—DNA methylation—in translating environmental inputs into phenotypic variation. In chapter one, I empirically test two competing explanations for how early life effects evolve, providing novel insight into the evolution of developmental plasticity in long-lived species. In chapter two, I address the degree to which ecological effects on fitness-related traits are potentially mediated by changes in DNA methylation. Finally, in chapter three, I develop a high-throughput assay to improve our knowledge of the phenotypic relevance of changes in the epigenome. Together, this work provides some of the first empirical data on the genes and mechanisms involved in sensing and responding to environmental variation in wild mammals, and more generally addresses several critical gaps in our understanding of how early experiences affect evolutionarily relevant traits.

▼ Clic proteins influence ethanol-related behavior in flies and other species and also mediate TGF-β signaling. These findings suggest that Clics and the TGF-β signaling pathway might work together to modulate behavioral responses to ethanol. I used the Drosophila model to address the hypothesis that TGF-β signaling is important for ethanol sensitivity. Ethanol sensitivity was blunted by multiple transposon insertions in the TGF-β receptor gene thickveins. Collectively, however, I found no consistent correlation between expression of thickveins and altered ethanol sensitivity in flies harboring transposons. I therefore also assessed ethanol sensitivity in flies with loss of function point mutations in thickveins. Ethanol sensitivity was not altered in these additional thickveins genotypes, contrary to my major hypothesis. My analysis of thickveins suggests that TGF-β signaling might influence ethanol sensitivity, but if so there must be a complex relationship between the function of this pathway and sensitivity to alcohol.

▼ Glycine-N-acyltransferase (GLYAT, EC 2.3.1.13) has been characterised in a number of species including: humans, chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys and bovines. The characterisation of GLYAT from various species contributes to a better understanding of the diversity of the enzyme which in turn might help improve the current understanding of detoxification in mammals. The GLYAT enzyme of both the chacma baboon and vervet monkey has not been characterised. In this project, tissue samples were obtained from a chacma baboon (Papio ursinus) and a vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) to determine the nucleic acid sequence that encodes GLYAT in these two species to broaden our current understanding on the diversity of GLYAT in primates.
A liver of a chacma baboon was used to extract total RNA. Complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesised using an oligo (dT) primer. An open reading frame (ORF) encoding GLYAT of the chacma baboon was amplified with a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) using primers designed from a human GLYAT transcript. The PCR product containing an ORF encoding GLYAT of the chacma baboon was cloned, sequenced and expressed. The recombinant GLYAT of the chacma baboon expressed well in bacteria, but was insoluble and did not have enzyme activity. A crude cytoplasmic extract was prepared from the liver of a chacma baboon. The objective was to compare enzyme activity between the native and recombinant GLYAT. The prepared liver extract from the chacma baboon was assayed for enzyme activity and compared to the activity in a liver extract from bovine, previously prepared by Ms M Snyders. Both the chacma baboon and bovine liver extracts had GLYAT enzyme activity.
To obtain sequence information on vervet monkey GLYAT, leukocytes were isolated from blood obtained from a living vervet monkey. A human GLYAT gene sequence was used as a reference DNA sequence in the design of PCR primers that were used to amplify the exons of GLYAT of the vervet monkey. All six GLYAT exons were individually amplified and PCR products were sequenced. The sequences were combined to reconstruct an ORF encoding GLYAT of the vervet monkey.
The ORFs coding the GLYAT of both chacma baboon and vervet monkey were found to be 888 bp long (excluding stop codon) and encoded a protein of 296 amino acids. A fragment of 1256 bp of the chacma baboon GLYAT transcript was sequenced. The two GLYAT ORF sequences were translated to amino acid sequences and aligned to that of GLYAT of primates obtained from the Ensembl sequence database. The GLYAT amino acid sequences of the chacma baboon, vervet monkey and rhesus monkey formed a related group, distinct from other primates. The chacma baboon and vervet monkey sequences were 99 % identical to the rhesus monkey sequence and 92.6 % identical to the human sequence. There were 4 new variations introduced by GLYAT amino acid sequences from the chacma baboon and the vervet monkey. The vervet monkey introduced an isoleucine in place of a valine at position 32 and an arginine in place of a histidine or glutamine at position…

▼ Nearly 13% of infants born in the United States each year are preterm - that is, born before 37 weeks gestation. Although improvements in clinical care have contributed to survival rates that now exceed 85%, premature infants are at high risk for motor, sensory, cognitive and behavioral disabilities. In order to develop therapeutic interventions to prevent these adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, we must first understand the nature of cerebral injury associated with premature birth and the mechanisms by which it leads to altered brain development. A
baboon: Papio papio) model of preterm birth was used to evaluate cerebral development from 90 days of gestation: dg) to term: ∼ 185 dg). Conventional magnetic resonance imaging: MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging: DTI) was obtained on fixed brains. In addition, histopathology was obtained. Analysis of this model led to the following conclusions.: 1) MRI/DTI findings during brain maturation closely paralleled those from live premature infants, indicating that the preterm
baboon is a good model of human development.: 2) Both qualitative MRI scoring and quantitative analysis of DTI parameters correlated with pathologic abnormalities in cerebral white matter. In particular, reduced oligodendrocyte number was associated with increased radial diffusivity and decreased diffusion anisotropy, while astrocytosis corresponded to increased apparent diffusion coefficient.: 3) The birth weight of control animals correlated strongly with cerebral development as measured with MRI/DTI, with lower weight corresponding to less mature brain. Since birth weight may be an indicator of the quality of the intrauterine environment, it may better predict cerebral growth and maturation than gestational age.: 4) Clinical therapies differentially affect cerebral development and provide opportunities for neuroprotection. Positive pressure and high frequency ventilation were associated with more cerebral injury: as measured using both histology and MRI/DTI) than nasal continuous positive airway pressure.: 5) High-dose erythropoietin, a novel neuroprotective agent, had no adverse effects on cerebral development and may increase the potential for cerebral repair by inducing proliferation of cells in the subventricular zone.

▼ La coqueluche est une pathologie due à la bactérie Bordetella pertussis qui touche les voies respiratoires des patients infectés causant toux, leucocytose, fièvre, et dont les symptômes peuvent aller jusqu’au décès chez les individus les plus à risque (nouveau-nés et enfants immunodéprimés en particulier). Ciblée par différents programmes vaccinaux depuis de nombreuses années, cette pathologie sévit à nouveau dans de nombreux pays développés où le nombre de cas augmente fortement depuis la fin des années 2000. Cette résurgence montre la nécessité de développer de nouvelles stratégies afin de comprendre les mécanismes de l’infection par B. pertussis. Dans ce contexte, la recherche préclinique apparaît comme essentielle pour comprendre la physiopathologie de la coqueluche. De nombreux modèles animaux ont été décrits pour l’étude de la coqueluche mais aucun de ces modèles ne permet de reproduire l’ensemble du spectre des symptômes cliniques de la pathologie, notamment la toux. Cependant, au cours des dernières années un modèle d’infection par Bordetella pertussis chez le jeune babouin a été développé aux Etats-Unis et permet de reproduire la pathologie observée chez l’homme, notamment concernant la toux et la transmission. Ce modèle semble ainsi très prometteur pour l’étude de la physiopathologie de la coqueluche.Cependant, de nombreuses inconnues subsistent dans ce modèle, notamment concernant la colonisation bactérienne et les interactions entre la bactérie et l’hôte. Nous avons ainsi cherché dans cette étude à évaluer d’une part l’impact de différents facteurs comme l’âge des animaux, la dose d’infection ainsi que la voie d’exposition sur la pathologie déclarée par les babouins suite à l’infection par la souche B1917 de B. pertussis afin de pouvoir proposer un parallèle avec les données cliniques disponibles. Nous avons également développé l’utilisation de techniques d’imagerie in vivo comme l’endomicroscopie confocale couplée à la bronchoscopie afin d’étudier la localisation et la cinétique de colonisation et certaines interactions du pathogène dans le tractus respiratoire inférieur au cours de la pathologie. Cette étude nous a ainsi permis d’approfondir les connaissances de physiopathologie de la coqueluche dans ce modèle babouin et consolidera cet outil précieux pour l’évaluation des futures stratégies de prévention contre cette pathologie.
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis bacterial colonization of human airways. Main symptoms are cough, leukocytosis, fever and may even be lethal for some patients (e.g. newborn infants and immuno-deficient patients). Despite a good vaccination coverage worldwide against pertussis, whooping cough cases have been re-increasing in several developed countries in the past twenty years. This resurgence points out the crucial need to develop new control strategies and to better understand pertussis pathophysiology, notably using appropriate animal models. Numerous preclinical models including mice, rats, rabbits and swine have been…

▼ This thesis unites two contrasting projects within the framework of one concept: the umwelt – which stresses the need to view the world from the subject’s perspective. The first project is a comparative analysis of the play fighting in several species of Old World monkeys. All species attacked and defended the same body targets and used similar combat tactics. Surprisingly, whereas two species focused more on biting, the other two adopted tactics to enhance the opportunity for competition. The second project involves a story about play written for young children. An analysis of the parents’ impressions of the children’s responses revealed that the sex and interests of the child greatly influenced their attentiveness to the story. Thus, the thesis demonstrates that the umwelt is a powerful conceptual tool for understanding how the subjects perceive and react to the world, whether describing behaviour, or communicating with an audience.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) is increasing globally and has been recognized as a
major priority by most conservation organizations. This is due to the impacts that both
wildlife and stakeholders can have on each other leading to a loss of support for
conservation in general. Understanding the drivers of these impacts is therefore
critical to mitigating the impacts. While the main focus of research in HWC has been
finding technological solutions to mitigating the tangible impacts of wildlife for
humans so as to increase tolerance of stakeholders towards wildlife, recent findings
have pointed to the fact that this approach may be an oversimplification of the
problem. A number of qualitative reviews and theoretical models have therefore
emerged proposing a wide range of factors that may be important and emphasize the
more complex nature of HWC. These models however are not based on quantitative
synthesis of the research on this topic and there are no widely accepted models being
used. Therefore a primary aim of this project was to develop a tolerance to wildlife
damage model that was based on a quantitative synthesis of the body of research that
has investigated attitudes to damage causing mammalian wildlife. A second aim was
to test the emergent model using a case study of urban baboon–human conflict on the
Cape Peninsula of South Africa. Key findings from the meta-analyses were that
contrary to conventional wisdom, damage is not always the most important driver of
tolerance as it interacted with taxonomic group and stakeholder type in complex
ways. For example, tolerance of ungulates and primates was proportional to the
probability of experiencing damage while elephants elicited tolerance levels higher
than anticipated and carnivores elicited tolerance levels lower than anticipated. A
second meta-analysis aimed to determine if common patterns of variables explaining
tolerant attitudes were present across a wide range of species, stakeholders and
contexts. Results showed that the majority of publications measured variables with a
low likelihood of explaining drivers of attitudes or did not quantify variables of
generally high utility. A synthesis of the most important factors emerging from these
meta-analyses together with additional constructs and theories from other disciplines
relevant for addressing the complexity inherent in HWC was undertaken and the
Wildlife Tolerance Model (WTM) proposed. The WTM hypothesizes that the net outcome of the extent to which a person is exposed to a species as well as the types of
meaningful events (positive or negative) determine perceptions of the costs relative to
benefits of living with a species. This in turn determines tolerance. A second
component predicts 11 inner model variables that may further drive perceptions of
costs and benefits. Results from the case study showed support for the WTM where
both outer and inner model variables were found to be important drivers of tolerance.
A key conclusion is that although…

▼ The human class Ib major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, HLA-G, is
unique in its limited polymorphism, high expression in the placenta and generation of
multiple transcripts by alternative splicing. The proteins encoded by these transcripts are
believed to modulate maternal-foetal immunological relationships during pregnancy. The
placentas of both monkeys and baboons contain messages encoded by a novel MHC
molecule, which is evolutionarily related to the HLA-A locus but shares unique
characteristics with HLA -G. In this study, it was demonstrated that in the placenta of the
olive baboon (Papio anubis), the HLA-G-like gene, Paan-AG, is alternatively spliced to
generate at least seven transcripts. Four of these messages were predicted to encode
membrane-bound class Ib MHC glycoprotein isoforms (Paan-AG I, Paan-AG2, Paan-
AG3, Paan-AG4) and one to encode a soluble isoform (sPaan-AGl), and all these
transcripts have HLA-G counterparts. Two other transcripts, predicted to encode a
truncated soluble protein, were detected in the placenta and all the non-placental tissues
tested in this study, including cycling uterine endometrium, heart, liver, lung, kidney,
skeletal muscle, thymus and spleen. The full-length transcript, Paan-AG 1, was also
detected in these samples, but in the non-placental tissues, the transcripts contained
multiple stop codons. The alternatively spliced transcripts, with the exception of Paan-
AG 1, were also detected in unfertilised baboon oocytes, zygotes and preimplantation
embryos. Immunohistochemical studies using Paan-AG isoform-specific antibodies
showed that Paan-AG 1 and soluble Paan-AG proteins were expressed III
syncytiotrophoblast in both first trimester and term placenta, and in extravillous cells in
decidua and basal plate in term placenta, and also in the prostate gland. Paan-AG2
protein was not expressed by these tissues. Because of the structural similarities and
common features of organ-specific expression and splicing of the message, studies on
Paan-AG may be of value in investigating the functions of the class Ib proteins in human
pregnancy.

▼ Endogenous retrovirus- Iike sequences (ERV s) represent a substantial component of most
vertebrate genomes. Majority share morphological features with type-C retroviruses. To
date, the significance of ERV -related sequences in primate reproductive processes is sti11
unknown. In this study, testicular, epididymal and vasa deferentia tissues from sexually
immature (n=2) and mature (n=4) male olive baboons were investigated for the
expression of endogenous retrovirus-like particles. Immunohistochemical staining was
done using antibodies raised against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1I2, simian
immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and ERVs. In addition sodium dodecyl sulphatepolyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis (SDS-P AGE), and Western blot was done on
homogenized sperm pellet and seminal plasma. Reverse transcriptase (RTase) activity in
epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa, and seminal fluid was evaluated. This study
demonstrated ERV3 env-like antigens on early phases of spermatogenic ce11s in mature
baboon testes (n=4) and on epididymal spermatozoa (n=4). Similarly, HIV-l p24/25 gag
and HIV-2 gp120-like antigens were expressed in mature and juvenile baboon testes. In
addition, reverse transcriptase activity was detected in ejaculated spermatozoa, seminal
fluid and epididymal spermatozoa. Proteins of approximately 49, 58 and 80 kDa were
detected in seminal fluid, 58 and 32 kDa in sperm pe11et from ejaculum and epididymis
respectively. Antibodies reactive with the testes and epididymis did not cross-react with
any of the proteins from semen samples including epididymal spermatozoa on
immunoblot. These results indicate that retroviral-Iike antigens are expressed in normal
male baboon testes and spermatozoa.
