2400 monkeys injected with virus
2400 monkeys have been injected with the Mers virus in a bid to find a vaccine for it. As a result of this, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US has managed to develop an effective vaccine that can prevent the monkeys from contracting the Mers virus.
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), 3000 monkeys are used yearly in the UK to test the safety and effectiveness of food and vaccines consumed by humans.
