Non-human primates, such as macaques and baboons, are used in biomedical research due to their physiological and genetic similarity to humans. They are particularly useful for studying diseases that are specific to primates, such as SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus) and Ebola virus. Non-human primates are also used to study human diseases such as HIV, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and cancer, as they are susceptible to similar disease processes and can provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potential treatments.
