The Division of Animal Resources provides program management and logistical support for multiple non-human primate SPF breeding programs contracted with private commercial pharmaceutical sponsors. The breeding programs are established to provide a continuous supply of non-human primates that are SPF for B virus and the retroviruses (SIV, SRV, STLV-1). Current breeding programs are operational for several non-human species:

  • Macaca mulatta
  • Macaca nemestrina
  • Chlorocebus aethiops
