Surgical Services: Preimplanted Services Streamline Ebola Study U.S. Government researchers were interested in the pathophysiology of the Ebola virus in the non-human primate model following either intramuscular or aerosol exposure. Characterizing the natural disease progression in the absence of treatment was an important prerequisite for designing therapeutic studies in the model. Consistency was a principal concern; therefore, they had very specific requirements for the macaque species and origin preferences. A total of 52 pre-implanted, healthy rhesus macaques were delivered to the government facility ready for study acclimation. THE CHALLENGE. Ebola Virus Disease is a severe, often fatal illness with high mortality rates. Laboratory studies on Ebola virus require the highes
