    Abstract:

    In the study of human diseases, animal models play a critical role in medical research. The immunological and physiological similarities between non-human primates and humans have prompted non-human primate models to be used to study virus pathogenesis, immunity, and the efficacy of vaccines and drugs. They play an indispensable role in the study of human viral infectious diseases, including emerging new viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. In this article, we focus on the research progress in non-human primates as experimental animal models of several important human viral infectious diseases, including the important role of non-human primates in the study of SARS-CoV-2.
