| Abstract: | The concept of rearing primate infants in a nursery fell out of favor over the past two decades, after research showed the detrimental behavioral effects of restricted rearing and raised concerns about how best to care for animals with these abnormalities (Harlow and Harlow, 1969; Ruppenthal and Sackett, 1979; Capitanio, 1985). In addition to behavioral effects, several investigators have described physiological differences between mother-reared (MR) and nursery-reared (NR) infants (Sackett et al., 1973; Champoux et al., 1989; Kraemer et al., 1989). Some of these differences were resolved as the infants grew older, while others persisted (Novak and Harlow, 1975; Mason et al., 1991). Today, however, many institutions have changed or expanded their research focus and once again require some degree of nursery rearing. In some cases, nursery rearing is needed either to keep maternal variables from interfering with certain aspects of the infant΄s development, such as in AIDS research, or to keep the animals free from specific pathogens (Marthas et al., 1995; Lindberg et al., 1997).
