Animal experimentation contributes significantly to the progression of science. Nonhuman primates
play a particularly important role in biomedical research not only because of their anatomical,
physiological, biochemical, and behavioral similarities with humans but also because of their close
phylogenetic affinities. In order to investigate the use of New World primates (NWP) in biomedical
research over the last four decades (1966?2005), we performed a quantitative study of the literature
listed in bibliographic databases from the Health Sciences. The survey was performed for each genus of
NWP that has been bred in the National Center of Primates in Brazil. The number of articles published
was determined for each genus and sorted according to the country from which the studies originated
and the general scientific field. The data obtained suggests that Brazil is a leader in generating
knowledge with NWP models for translational medicine. |
