Tamarin Health Check

Caption

A juvenile saddleback tamarin is measured as part of an annual health check of a population of three primate species in southeastern Peru. In a perspective article published July 9 in Science, a team of wildlife biologists, infectious disease experts, and others propose a decentralized, global wildlife biosurveillance system to identify - before the next pandemic emerges - animal viruses that have the potential to cause human disease.
