    SPERM MIGRATION THROUGH THE FEMALE GENITAL-TRACT OF THE NEW-WORLD MONKEY CEBUS-APELLA
    (1995) ORTIZ, ME; GAJARDO, G; LEON, CG; HERRERA, E; VALDEZ, E; CROXATTO, HB
    This study was designed to characterize sperm migration in the female genital tract of Cebus apella. Forty-eight cycles of eighteen females mated during the periovulatory period were studied. Eggs were searched for and spermatozoa were counted in segmental flushings of the genital tract performed in situ 1-7 h, 19-31 h, or 45-56 h after coitus. Of 14 eggs recovered, 8 were fertilized, thus assuring a reasonable normality of prefertilization phenomena in both males and females.
