Philippine long-tailed macaque Philippine long-tailed macaque The Philippine long-tailed macaque ("Macaca fascicularis philippensis") is a subspecies of the crab-eating macaque, known in various Philippine languages as "matching"/"matsing" or the more general term "unggoy" ("monkey"). It is endemic in the Philippine forests and woodlands, but especially in the mangrove forests of western central Philippines— particularly in Palawan, the Visayas, and Mindanao. The names "M. f. philippinensis" or even "M. f. philippinenesis" have also been used, but arise from orthographical error. The Philippine long-tailed macaque has a reddish-brown coat. Its tail has an average length of 50 cm to 60 cm. It can reach a
Rhesus macaque Michael Katze of University of Washington, Seattle, infected macaques with 1918 and modern influenzas. The DNA microarray showed the macaque genomic response to human influenza on a cellular level in each tissue. Both viruses stimulated innate immune system inflammation, but the 1918 flu stimulated stronger and more persistent inflammation, causing extensive tissue damage, and it did not stimulate the interferon-1 pathway. The DNA response showed a transition from innate to adaptive immune response over seven days. The full sequence and annotation of the macaque genome is available on the Ensembl genome browser.
