SUPPORT FOR REGIONAL PRIMATE RESEARCH CENTER

此申请是为三角洲地区灵长类动物提供支持的 将研究中心作为继续生物医学的资源 研究。该中心将在中国开展核心研究项目 微生物学、寄生虫学、泌尿学、生殖 生理和灵长类动物的行为。具体的研究项目 使用非人类灵长类动物将与人类疾病如艾滋病有关， 麻风、肾盂肾炎、前列腺炎、膀胱炎、淀粉样变性、疟疾、 丝虫病、良性前列腺增生、心肌炎和 淋巴瘤。这项研究的发现应该会改善我们的 对人类疾病的了解，即导致 以及如何治疗和预防这些疾病。 该中心还将提供设施、实验室空间和 为来这里做研究的调查人员提供熟练的协助 与非人类灵长类动物。它还将提供标本 以及供其他科学家使用的研究材料。 对该中心的支持将继续为选定的物种提供 用于生物医学研究的猴子。畜牧业和殖民地 开发的管理技术将有助于确保 为研究提供充足的灵长类动物。关于生物学的研究 灵长类动物的行为将提高我们对 并使它们在研究中得到更有效的利用。

This application is for the support of the Delta Regional Primate Research Center as a resource for continuing biomedical research. The Center will conduct core research programs in the general fields of microbiology, parasitology, urology, reproductive physiology, and primate behavior. The specific research projects using nonhuman primates will relate to human diseases as AIDS, leprosy, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, cystitis, amyloidosis, malaria, filariasis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, myocarditis, and lymphoma. The findings of this research should improve our understanding of human diseases, the infectious agents that cause them, and how these disease might be treated and prevent. The Center will also provide facilities, laboratory space and skilled assistance to investigators who come here to do research with nonhuman primates. It will also make available specimens and research materials for use by other scientists. Support of this Center will continue to provide selected species of monkeys for biomedical research. The husbandry and colony management technology that is developed will help to insure an adequate supply of primates for research. Studies of the biology and behavior of primates will improve our understanding of the species and allow them to be used more effectively in research.
