Comparison of arthritis characteristics in lowland Gorilla gorilla and mountain Gorilla beringei

Article Abstract:

The study contrasts mountain and lowland gorillas in terms of the frequency and character of reactive arthritis present in each species, and utilizes behavioral differences to predict which pathway organisms are responsible for this condition. The macerated skeletons of 38 Gorilla beringei and 99 Gorilla gorilla individuals are examined macroscopically for the presence of articular and osseous pathologies.
