ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 (or SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has significantly increased the demand for rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) for COVID-19 and other biomedical research, so much so that it has outstripped supply. Baboons (Papio cynocephalus) and African green monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus and Chlorocebus aethiops), other well-characterized primate models used in biomedical research, should be considered a promising alternative for COVID-19 infection studies other than macaques.
