Naturally born SPF animals
- All Mauritian origin primates are naturally born SPF (B-virus, SRV, SIV, STLV1 free).No Seroconversion
- Certain areas of research like stem cell – will use only SPF animals
- The use of SPF NHPs is much safer for the researchers and animal caregivers
Genetically homogeneous animals
- Mauritian origin primates are very homogeneous
- This has already been demonstrated in AIDS research
- Increasingly seen as an advantage in infectious diseases and in pharmacokinetic studies
MCM is a pure Cynomolgus with no hybridization
- MCM is a pure Cynomolgus from only one subspecies with no hybridization with other subspecies or other macaque species
