Working Safely With Non-Human Primates [video]

This is a two-part training video produced by the Office
of Animal Care and Use of the National Institutes of Health. In the
first section, the dangers of working with non-human primates and
the protective measures that should be taken are discussed. The
importance of protective clothing, hand washing, proper sharps
procedures, supervisory responsibility and common sense behavior
when near the animal enclosures is emphasized. The second section
deals with the normal primate behaviors of the New World and Old
World primates commonly used in research, and especially the
behaviors exhibited when threatened. Some of the species shown are
the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and rhesus macaque (Macaca
mulatta). Among the behaviors shown are: facial expressions
including yawn, open mouth threat and eyebrow movement;
knucklewalking; eating and vocalizations.
