TL;DR: The first reported case of a baboon (Papio hamadryas) with trisomy of chromosome 17, which is homologous to human chromosome 13, is described, which was due to either an error in meiosis II or the result of postzygotic nondisjunction.

TL;DR: This is the first report of placental oxygen diffusing capacities and placental ultrastructural changes in a baboon model of obesity, and previously reported placental inflammation in maternal obesity is not associated with changes in the VM diffuding capacities and ultrastructure.

TL;DR: This data indicates that stillbirths in non‐human primates are a major problem and represent failure of the maternal–fetal–placental unit to maintain normal relationships because of various endogenous, undetermined or environmental factors.

TL;DR: Dgenerative diseases were the primary etiological cause of mortality of the adult captive chimpanzee population and Chimpanzee‐induced trauma was the major etiologicalcause of mortality among the perinatal and infant population.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection resulted in subclinical disease in rhesus macaques with mild pneumonia and clinical disease in Syrian hamsters with severe pneumonia, and macaques may be appropriate for mechanistic studies of mild asymptomatic CO VID-19 pneumonia and COVID-19-associated encephalitis.
