Primates have long been used as research facility study creatures [1]. Primates are profoundly astute creatures who structure complex social connections, and experience feelings in a comparative manner to people-this implies that primates can endure in comparable approaches to us [2]. Consistently in...
Why do non-human primates have long torsos? Non-Human Primates: Non-human primates are primates that are not members of the family Hominidae. Examples of non-human primates include gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and gibbons. They are often used in research because they share many similarities...
Following the publication of the Weatherall report on the use of non‐human primates in research, this paper reflects on how to provide appropriate and ethical models for research beneficial to humankind. Two of the main justifications for the use of non‐human primates in biomedical research are...
Simple Summary Despite increasing ethical concerns, primates are still often used in invasive research (i.e., laboratory research that causes body manipulations causing them pain or distress and not aimed at directly improving their well-being). Here, we will review previous studies showing that pri...
In this paper, we discuss issues concerning the welfare of non-human primates used in laboratory research from an eco-ethological standpoint and suggest means of improving welfare. Following a brief review of the use of non-human primates in European countries and of the legislation that governs...
The fascinating history of prion diseases is intimately linked to the use of nonhuman primates as experimental models, which brought so fundamental and founding information about transmissibility, pathogenesis, and resistance of prions. These models are still of crucial need for risk assessment of human...
