CD4+ T Cell Depletion Before Primary Dengue and/or Secondary Zika Infection Reveals Mechanistic Correlates of Antibody Functionality in Rhesus Macaques.

This study shows that CD4+ T cell depletion before DENV infection affects antibody specificity and cross-reactivity during subsequent ZIKV infection in rhesus macaques.

Early life adversity has sex-dependent effects on survival across the lifespan in rhesus macaques

This study examines how early life adversity affects survival in male and female rhesus macaques, finding sex-dependent differences in mortality risk across the lifespan.

Cost and benefits of being social: examining the influence of sociality on faecal parasites in free-ranging rhesus macaques

This study examines how social relationships affect parasitic infection risk in rhesus macaques, finding that affiliative partners reduce protozoa infection risk, while social status does not.

A generalizable epigenetic clock captures aging in two nonhuman primates.

This paper develops an epigenetic clock for rhesus macaques using DNA methylation data, achieving high accuracy in predicting age across different populations and species.

Age, sex, and social environmental effects on immune cell composition in a free-ranging non-human primate.

This study examines how age, sex, and social status affect immune cell composition in rhesus macaques, revealing age-related immunosenescence and sex-dependent effects of social adversity.

Significant control of Zika infection in macaques depends on the elapsing time after dengue exposure

The paper shows that a longer interval between dengue and Zika infections improves Zika control in macaques, linked to pre-existing CD4+ T cell responses rather than antibodies.

Time elapsed between Zika and dengue virus infections affects antibody and T cell responses

This study examines how the time between Zika and dengue virus infections affects immune responses, finding that prior Zika exposure enhances antibody and T cell responses to dengue without increasing viremia.
