Arthritis of the spondyloarthropathy variety in Callithrix jacchus

J Med Primatol. 1993 Jul;22(5):313-6.

Abstract

Sixty skeletons of Callithrix jacchus were examined to identify spondyloarthropathy. Erosive disease in Callithrix was confirmed as spondyloarthropathy on the basis of diagnostic sacroiliac erosions, syndesmophyte formation, and the nature and distribution of the peripheral joint erosions.
