L'étude d'un premier lot de parasites internes (Nematoda et Pentastoma) récoltés à l'autopsie de mammifères, oiseaux et reptiles de Haute-Casamance (Sénégal) a permis de signaler: Chez Varanus niloticus : Hastospiculum macrophollus (Parona 1889), Tauqua tiara (o.v. Linstow, 1879); chez Corocias naevius et C. abyssinicus : un Squamofilaria qui pourrait appartenir à l'espèce S. coronata (Rud. 1809); chez Meliarax metabates (faucon) : un Thelazia localisé à l'oeil. Chez Erythrocebus patas Schreber : Stryptopharagus pigmentatus (o. v. Linstow, 1897). Chez un singe vert (Cercopithecus aethiops var. sabaeus L. et sur Sylvicapra grimmia) : Protospirura muricola Gedoelst, 1918; chez Cercopithecus aethiops var. sabaeus et ichneumia aloicauda Cuv. (mangouste à queue blanche) : Les formes nymphales de Nettorhynchus (Armillifer) armillatus (Wyman, 1845) Pentastoma. Un second lot de nématodes comportant notamment un certain nombre de Physaloptera parasites de l'estomac des singes et des petits carnivores ainsi que des filaires d'oiseaux et de mammifères appartenant aux genres Diplotriaena Railliet et Henry, 1909, Setaria Wiborg, 1795, Dicrofilaria Railliet et Henry, 1911 est en cours d'étude et fera l'objet d'une note ultérieure

Patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) living in African savanna woodlands and grassland habitats have a locomotor system that allows them to run fast, presumably to avoid predators. Long fore- and hindlimbs, long foot bones, short toes, and a digitigrade foot posture were proposed as anatomical correlates with speed. In addition to skeletal proportions, soft tissue and whole body proportions are important components of the locomotor system. To further distinguish patas anatomy from other Old World monkeys, a comparative study based on dissection of skin, muscle, and bone from complete individuals of patas and vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) was undertaken. Analysis reveals that small adjustments in patas skeletal proportions, relative mass of limbs and tail, and specific muscle groups promote efficient sagittal limb motion. The ability to run fast is based on a locomotor system adapted for long distance walking. The patas’ larger home range and longer daily range than those of vervets give them access to highly dispersed, nutritious foods, water, and sleeping trees. Furthermore, patas monkeys have physiological adaptations that enable them to tolerate and dissipate heat. These features all contribute to the distinct adaptation that is the patas monkeys’ basis for survival in grassland and savanna woodland areas.

Summary Aflatoxin B1 significantly depressed serum lipid levels in specimens of Cercopithecus aethiops, Cercopithecus mona, Erythrocebus patas and Papio enubis. Serum cholesterol, total phospholipids and total lipids were not affected to the same extent.
