rhesusn.

Brit.

/ˈriːsəs/, U.S.

/ˈrisəs/

Inflections: Plural unchanged, rhesuses.

Forms: 1800s– rhesus, 1800s– rhoesus.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French rhésus; Latin rhesus.

Etymology: < French rhésus, †rhesus and its etymon scientific Latin rhesus, former specific name (in Simia rhesus) (both J. B. Audebert Hist. nat. des singes (1799) ii. 5) < classical Latin Rhēsus ( < ancient Greek Ῥῆσος ), the name of a mythical king of Thrace; Audebert's adoption of this name for the monkey was apparently arbitrary. With sense 2, compare slightly earlier Rh n.²

1. More fully rhesus macaque, rhesus monkey. A brown macaque with red skin on the face and rump, Macaca mulatta, common and widespread in Asia.The rhesus macaque has been widely used as a laboratory animal in biomedical research.

2. Medicine. A major human blood group system originally identified by means of rabbit antisera to rhesus monkey blood, consisting of three principal antigens (one major, D, which is the most immunogenic, and two minor, C and E). Symbol Rh (see Rh n.²). Chiefly attributive.The rhesus blood group system is best known for its role in haemolytic disease in the fetus and newborn, which may occur in a rhesus-positive fetus carried by a rhesus-negative mother who has developed antibody to the rhesus factor following a previous pregnancy or blood transfusion.
