Phew! The monkey that's been missing from Emory for a week doesn't have herpes


m.clatl.com
The folks over at Emory's Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Lawrenceville just decided to announce that one of its rhesus monkeys has been missing since June 15.

BUT DONT WORRY. He doesn't have herpes.

From Fox 5:

According to officials, the monkey does not have the herpes B virus. The animal was to be a part of a behaviorial study, but it was not part of any study in which it would have been infected with any disease.

Yikes! Scary story.

Let's hope the thing gets hit by a truck and gets knocked into a volcano or something.

thanks for scaring the crap outta me! nah, i'm not very scary, but that's an alarming dose of realism you've dropped here. they were quick to point out that the primate didnt have herpes....but what else have they actually done with this primate besides behavioral mods?? i'm gonna have to look into this research center, as todays news blurb is the first time i've actually heard of them.


Yerkes National Primate Research Center



The Yerkes National Primate Research Center, located in Atlanta, Georgia at Emory University, is one of eight national primate research centers funded by the National Institutes of Health. The center, founded in 1930 by Robert Yerkes, the pioneering primatologist who specialized in comparative psychology, is a recognized leader for its biomedical and behavioral studies with nonhuman primates. The Yerkes Main Station, located on 25 acres (100,000 m²) of the Emory campus in Atlanta, contains most of the center's biomedical research laboratories. The Yerkes Field Station, which houses 3,400 animals, specializes in behavioral studies of primate social groups, and is located 30 miles (50 km) north of Atlanta, on 117 acres (473,000 m²) of wooded land near Lawrenceville. The Center was relocated from Orange Park, Florida, in 1965.
