SCOPE: Contract for nonhuman primate viral serology and PCR service.

The Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) maintains a colony of approximately 1200 rhesus and cynomolgus macaques.  A portion of these animals are maintained as a specific pathogen free (SPF) colony.  The SPF colony is free of the following viruses:

  • Cercopithecine herpes virus I (Herpes B)
  • Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)
  • Simian T-lymphotrophic Virus (STLV)
  • Simian Type-D Retrovirus (SRV)

All members of the established SPF colony have annual serology testing performed for the four target viruses.  Additionally, all potential SPF animals must undergo serology testing for the four viruses and PCR for SRV and STLV on a quarterly basis for one to two years to be accepted into the colony.

The purpose of this contract is to provide a contractor or contractors to handle the WNPRC’s serology and PCR testing for the SPF macaque colony.
