The major goal of this project is to screen the U42 macaque colony at the SNPRC for SARS-CoV-2 virus and viral antibodies to mitigate the risks to both staff and the nonhuman primate colonies associated with COVID-19 and to help minimize any risk to HIV research using U42 funded Indian-origin rhesus macaques.
