Role of the Chimpanzee in Research: Symposium, Vienna, May 1992.

Beginning with an examination of the political, scientific and ethical issues involved in primate research, this volume provides detailed information on the breeding and care of chimpanzees in captive populations. The role of the chimpanzee in biomedical research is then reviewed. Emphasis is placed on research into infectious diseases, particular hepatitis, as well as on the testing of vaccines and the safety testing of blood products.
