Female rhesus monkeys and marmosets were fed a diet containing blighted potatoes (Phytophthora infestans) at a level of 10g/kg per day for at least two weeks prior to breeding and six weeks following conception in order to gain additional information on the association of blighted potatoes and the development of anencephaly and spina bifida in primate species. There was an absence of either of these neural-tube defects in 32 rhesus and 14 marmoset infants whose mothers had received a blighted potato diet. In addition there were no cranial osseous defects. There were, however, two rhesus monkey infants with internal hydrocephalus whose mothers had consumed blighted potatoes.
在雌性恒河猴和狨猴繁殖前至少两周及受孕后六周，每天给它们喂食含枯萎马铃薯（致病疫霉）的食物，剂量为每千克10克，以便获取更多关于枯萎马铃薯与灵长类动物无脑儿和脊柱裂发育之间关联的信息。32只恒河猴和14只狨猴幼崽的母亲食用了枯萎马铃薯，但这些幼崽均未出现上述任何一种神经管缺陷。此外，也没有颅骨骨质缺陷。然而，有两只恒河猴幼崽出现了内部脑积水，它们的母亲食用了枯萎马铃薯。
