Rhesus macaque monkeys are nonhuman primates that originate from the jungles of India. Hundreds of them live at the Southwest National Primate Research Center on the Texas Biomedical Research Institute campus.
Macaques are useful for studying diseases from HIV to Ebola.
While the macaques live in indoor/outdoor housing, the scientific work performed on their samples takes place in a lab setting.
