Implication

Literature review uncovers extensive nonhuman primate utilization alongside widespread reporting omissions in published studies, highlighting the need for rigorous animal reporting standards.

Key Points

To evaluate the global utilization patterns of nonhuman primates and their biological materials across peer-reviewed scientific investigations published in 2001.
Conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles published in 2001, analyzing N=2,937 articles representing 4,411 individual studies involving nonhuman primates or primate biological materials.
Tabulated animal numbers, species, origins, study categories (in vitro, noninvasive, chronic, acute), research disciplines, geographic locations, and the reporting of housing and experimental variables.
Over 41,000 nonhuman primates were represented, with Chlorocebus aethiops (19%), Macaca mulatta (18%), and Macaca fascicularis (9%) comprising the most frequent species.
Studies were predominantly in vitro (54%) or chronic (30%), concentrated within microbiology including HIV/AIDS (26%), neuroscience (19%), and biochemistry (12%), with 84% conducted in North America, Europe, or Japan.
Among the 14% of studies reporting reuse status, 69% utilized animals from previous experiments, while information on animal origins, housing, and husbandry was rarely documented.
