2017 CVM News: Osofsky comments on Ebola vaccine for apes in New Scientist

Other Titles

Ebola vaccine promising in chimps but may never be used

Abstract

The news item from the New Scientist is about: A new oral Ebola vaccine seems to works in apes – but that doesn’t mean Africa’s great apes are now safe from the virus, which poses a grave threat to endangered gorillas, bonobos and chimpanzees. It may, however, never be used, unless researchers, conservationists and officials can agree on vaccination strategies and how to test the vaccines. Researchers had started testing the vaccines and wanted to carry on, but a change to the US Endangered Species Act prohibiting invasive research on chimps kicked in in September 2015, while they were still in the process.
