In addition, as a spin-off, animal health improvements and progress are often the result of our human health research efforts. We can avoid future shortfalls of nonhuman primate resources by making a long-term investment now in the resources and the infrastructure needed to provide them for biomedical research.

Some of the current research efforts with nonhuman primates, particularly in the field of AIDS, offer great potential in the development of antivirals and, hopefully, effective vaccines. In the future, some of the strategic biotechnology areas of research that will loom larger are AIDS, stem cell research, gene therapy, aging, and learning and behavior.

The information was very revealing in terms of that industry's direction and the needs we must fulfill. At the close of the first day, we had a very detailed presentation of a long-awaited, newly published update of the National Academies publication Nutritional Requirements of Nonhuman Primates.

The fact that there is very little in the literature that scientifically compares differences between species is another important consideration that has emerged from this meeting. More scientific studies should be devoted to comparative studies between nonhuman primate species and making those species available for various types of research.

In spite of the great difference between the rodent and the nonhuman-primate fields in terms of genetic and microbiological definition, we appear to be approaching a better genetically and microbiologically defined macaque for research. Many individuals discussed transportation issues for nonhuman primates in terms of regulatory issues and transportation impeding the supply of reliable animal models.

All of these agencies would benefit from a coordinated approach as well as increased understanding of the issues surrounding transportation of nonhuman primates. Often we can satisfy one regulatory agency but not satisfy another.
