The course"Working Safely with Nonhuman Primates" is required
for all personnel who are scheduled to begin working with nonhuman primates
(NHP). You will learn about the normal behavior of NHP to help you avoid
being bitten, scratched, or exposed to pathogens that are transmissible
to humans. Special emphasis is given to avoiding exposure to body fluids
from macaque monkeys that may contain Herpes B virus. This course requires
viewing a video and taking a short quiz. Contact your IC's animal program
office to arrange for a presentation.
