| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Marmoset wasting syndrome (MWS) is important and poorly understood gastrointestinal (GI) disease in captive common marmoset colonies. MWS is characterized by progressive weight loss, muscle atrophy, alopecia, diarrhea and enteritis. I reveal the clinical and pathological findings of WMS. We clarify the efficacy of combined protocols with pancrelipase and cobalamin for the treatment of marmosets with MWS.
Additionally, I described a novel chronic GI disease with proximal duodenal obstruction and dilation in marmosets. I revealed the pathogenesis of the novel GI disease and determine simple and easy screening test, without using contrast radiology.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
MWSの病態解明と治療予防法確立は緊急の課題である。しかしながら、MWSの先行研究は一部の臓器の病理検索や試験的薬剤投与に関する報告が大半であり、国際的に認知された病態仮説や予防治療法は確立されていない。本研究の成果はマーモセットの獣医師のみでなく、マーモセットを使用する全ての生命科学研究者にも貢献をもたらすと考える。
