• Resumen

  • A newly discovered rodent virus that resembles hepatitis C could give research chimps a break. The NIH is expected to make a decision imminently on how many of its 360 research chimps should be retired on the grounds that most studies can be done in other animals. One exception, however, is research on the hepatitis C virus.
