150 research primates got diarrhea, flooding lab with priceless vaccine data

Having more than 150 non-human primates at a research center fall ill with diarrhea in a stomach-churning outbreak that flowed for over two years doesn't sound much like good fortune. But for some scientists, it kind of was, providing a heaping pile of valuable data on how they might finally defeat a foul foe. In a study published in the latest issue of Science Translational Medicine , scientist sifted through the dump of immunological data from the infections, logging new ways to train immune c
