Age related macular degeneration (AMD) signs may be found reliably in monkeys (Macaca mulatta) bred selectively in Florida after 14 generations of inbreeding in a closed colony at the University of Puerto Rico. Progression, ultrastructure and functional losses are parallel to those found in humans.
在波多黎各大学一个封闭群落中经过14代近亲繁殖后在佛罗里达州选择性培育的猕猴（恒河猴）中，可以可靠地发现与年龄相关的黄斑变性（AMD）体征。其进展、超微结构和功能丧失与人类中发现的情况相似。
