[Use of New World Saimiri and Aotus monkeys in the development of an anti-malaria vaccine].
Saimiri and Aotus, two neotropical primates, are currently used in different domains of human malaria research. Here we present a simplified and non exhaustive enumeration of different aspects in concern of using these monkeys as experimental hosts, their availability, laboratory-bred animals versus wild-caught animals, their potential as experimental model in evaluating anti-malaria vaccine candidates, and some related activities at the Pasteur Institute.
