Subcutaneous rabies vaccination of pigtail macaques.
Nonhuman primates housed in outside cages in rabies enzootic areas should be vaccinated against rabies because of the risk of exposure to rabid wildlife. This article reports that vaccination with an inactivated rabies vaccine for domestic animals induced levels of neutralizing antibodies against rabies in pigtail macaques (Macaca nemestrina) without causing adverse reactions.
