Risk assessment: A model for predicting cross-species transmission of simian foamy virus from macaques (M. fascicularis) to humans at a monkey temple in Bali, Indonesia
Article Abstract:
A multidisciplinary panel of experts in March 2003 developed a risk assessment model to describe the likelihood of cross-species transmission of simian foamy virus (SFV) from macaques to visitors at a monkey temple in Bali, Indonesia. The model does predict that the risk of being infected with SFV among visitors to a monkey temple is not negligible, and it can be conceived as the first step in a process whereby non-human primate (NHP)-human cross-species disease transmission can be examined.

Within-group female-female agonistic interactions in Taiwanese macaques (Macaca cyclopis)
Article Abstract:
Two study groups at ecologically diverse sites are used to determine whether contest for food within a primate group are hypothesized to form dominance hierarchies and tend to be philopatric by investigating feeding-related agonism among wild female Taiwanese macaques. It is concluded that female Taiwanese macaques show contest feeding competition in certain contexts which is also observed in other primate species where female are philopatric and form linear dominance hierarchies.

Disproportionate participation by age/sex classes in aggressive interactions between long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and human tourists at Padangtegal Monkey Forest, Bali, Indonesia
Article Abstract:
An estimated 420 aggressive interactions between tourists and Macaca fascicularis at the Padangtegal Wanara Wana Temple forest site in Bali, Indonesia were observed, during the months of June and July 2001. Analyses of the interactions suggest that macaques respond differentially to humans according to the age/sex classes involved.
