With a shortage of monkeys to test for an effective Covid-19 vaccine in China, and insufficient supplies, Chinese researchers are now considering alternative testing methods, and some are even considering trying people in other countries. China works 24 hours a day to develop a vaccine against the new coronavirus. Timer’s work takes place at a research centre in China. A probiotic biopharmaceutical company in a northeastern Chinese city has been battling the coronavirus since January. Not only that, but several other companies also joined the race. Thousands of monkeys were used to test the validity of the research, leading to the monkey crisis. Last month, a drug company in the country said it had successfully tested it on monkeys, but Aishen said the research was still in the preliminary stage of animal trials. However, the company is considering starting production next September before they complete clinical trials. Chairman Yisheng said that the company had conducted internal tests, and the results were very good. But since various research centres have conducted experiments on monkeys, the monkey crisis in China is very serious. The price of a monkey used to be 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan. But now, it costs 100,000 yuan to buy a monkey, and even then, stocks are in short supply. China exported 20,000 monkeys last year, according to a company that supplies the animals to the lab. Yishang Bayu Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang, has been operating continuously since January. The company, which has conducted most of its tests on monkeys, is still working to find alternative solutions. Just as China’s monkey crisis will have a negative impact on China’s natural environment, the lack of monkeys in research centres will delay research. It is very important to find alternatives quickly. Monkeys are primarily used for vaccine testing because, genetically, monkeys are believed to be healthy, ordinary humans. With this in mind, experiments were first conducted on mice and rabbits and then on monkeys to see if it would work in humans in general. That is why exams have become so necessary
