Abstract
⺠The common marmoset is a new world primate weighing between 350 and 400 g. ⺠Marmosets are exquisite NHP models for viral, protozoan, bacterial agents as well as prions. ⺠Marmosets have emerged as a viable model for studying high biocontainment pathogens. ⺠Models have been described for Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, SARS-CoA and EEE viruses. ⺠Use of marmosets will accelerate development of countermeasures to high consequence pathogens.
