| Abstract: | In this study, 40 individuals ofCallithrix jacchus were analyzed in order to investigate the frequency of chimerism and to determine whether the fertility of the colony was
in any way affected by chimerism.
In the individuals considered the degree of chimerism ranged from 2% to 97% and no correlation was established between the
degree of chimerism and fertility of the individuals. Many “good breeders” were chimeric and the best female breeders displayed
84% and 97% chimerism respectively. |
