Recent work indicates a similar, but not identical, pattern exists in baboons (Papio cynocephalus), which suffer a mosquito-carried malaria-like pathogen, Hepatocystis kochi. (wikipedia.org)
These studies were based on seroprevalence studies finding that yellow baboons ( Papio cynocephalus cynocephalus ) had a 60% seroprevalence rate for treponemal-specific antibodies ( 2 , 3 ). (cdc.gov)
In the late 1980s in Gombe National Park in Tanzania, olive baboons ( Papio anubis ) with genital ulcerations were found to have yaws-like infections of the skin ( 5 ). (cdc.gov)
All baboons have long dog-like muzzles (cynocephalus = dog-head), close-set eyes, heavy powerful jaws, thick fur except on their muzzle, a short tail, and rough spots on their rear-ends, called ischial callosities. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
P.h. hamadyas (sacred baboons), P. h. cynocephalus (yellow baboons), P. h. ursinus (Chacma baboons), P. h. papio (red baboons or Guinea baboons), and P. H. anubis (olive baboons). (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Many authors distinguish P. hamadryas as a full species, but regard all the others as subspecies of P. cynocephalus and refer to them collectively as "savanna baboons. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
However, while behaviorally and physically distinct from other baboon types, the Hamadryas baboon is known to hybridize with olive baboons, and recent phylogenetic studies of Papio show Hamadryas baboons to be more closely related to Guinea and olive baboons than to Chacmas (Newman et al. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
The Papio baboons are known for their ecological flexibility and wide geographic ranges, as well as their uncertain taxonomy. (karger.com)
The savannah baboons (genus Papio ) form a cluster of 6 closely related allotaxa, classified either as separate species (e.g. (karger.com)
Arnold, 2009], and the Papio baboons as a whole are amongst the most successful African primates [Barrett and Henzi, 2008]. (karger.com)
Ursinus1
P . ursinus ( chacma baboon), P . cynocephalus ( yellow baboon), P . papio ( western or Guinea baboon), P . anubis ( anubis or olive baboon), P . hamadryas (hamadryas or sacred baboon), P . sphinx ( mandrill ), and P . leucophaeus ( drill ). (dictionary.net)
Anubis2
P. anubis (olive baboon) is found in central African savanna, and P. cynocephalus (yellow baboon) is found in Angola , Zambia , Malawi , Tanzania , Kenya , and Somalia. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
The variant has apparently arisen twice in geographically distinct human populations, in Africa and Papua New Guinea. (wikipedia.org)
Species1
There have, however, been few systematic comparisons of the environments occupied by the 6 major Papio species, and how differences in range conditions and variability might affect their evolutionary ecology remains unknown. (karger.com)
