After averaging all the numbers, the total is approximately 70,000 to 75,000 nonhuman primates each year, and that includes all types of use, whether they are being bred or held or actually used in research. The CDC has 27 different registered NHP importers in the United States (information provided with the assistance of Bob Mullan and Gail Galland)

supports eight national primate research centers, which collectively contain almost 28,000 nonhuman primates, with the majority being rhesus monkeys. It becomes clear that it is the rhesus monkey that is used in research, not M

Using chimps means increased expense due to the need for larger cages, larger facilities, stronger people, and more educated people. Six centers in the United States maintain chimpanzees: the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (San Antonio, TX)

In terms of emerging infectious diseases, many scientists feel strongly that the chimpanzee should not be allowed to disappear from the US research scene. Some argue that it would be foolhardy to let the chimp population disappear and then need the animals again for future critical research.

I would like to thank Bob Mullan and Gail Galland from CDC, John Harding from NCRR and NIH, Tom Butler for giving me the chimp data, Joko Pamungkas and others from the Bogor Primate Center and the quarantine division of the Indonesian governments, and Pam Ferguson and Patti Rosendahl from Paris NHP.

4 The numbers of NHP used in Germany were extrapolated from Chinese export sources and from the European Commission report cited above. 5 The numbers of NHP used in Canada were extrapolated from Chinese export data and a personal survey of Canadian importers.

In the past three years, China has increased the number of breeders. All the primate breeding facilities must obtain a license for production of the nonhuman primates through the Bureau of Wildlife Protection and Conservation in the central government.

From page 226... ...
The quota for rhesus increased only slightly and most of the large facilities are not involved in the breeding of rhesus monkeys now. It should also be noted that most of the breeding facilities for cynomolgus monkeys are in the southern part of China, and facilities for rhesus monkeys are mostly in the central or western part of China.

, issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology. 11 Furthermore, most CROs conducting animal studies or testing as well as all AAALAC-accredited primate facilities have an IACUC.

Preclinical research focuses on verifying what was learned in discovery research under the highly controlled GLP conditions that are required by the FDA or equivalent regulatory bodies in Europe. Both types of research contribute to the translational science that we talk about in the United States -- from bench to bedside.

Squirrel monkeys develop these lesions and they look virtually identical to those seen in humans. Owl monkeys have been used for malaria research, pathogenesis, and vaccine development work with malaria.

However, the NIH Office of Animal Care and Use provided information that imports through PAHO from 2002 to 2006 totaled 230 owl monkeys and 68 squirrel monkeys. To try to bring it into perspective, New World monkeys are valuable for several key diseases.

I want to thank Jim Taylor, Don Bordine, and Alfie Caesar, who helped me with some numbers, as well as Larry Williams and Laura Zapalac in my department.
