UW-Madison researcher studies endangered monkeys (WPR)

A professor at the University of Wisconsin is studying endangered African monkeys, to better understand the spread of viruses, such as HIV/AIDS.

In an article released this week in the Journal of Virology, UW professor Tony Goldberg outlines his goal of tracking virus evolution across millions of years. Goldberg has studied the endangered Ugandan red colobus which only lives in the Kibale National Park in western Uganda.
