Members of the genus Macaca are the most commonly used animals in biomedical research on primates. Macaca monkeys are used most extensively (from 50% to 73% of the general file) in rapidly developing branches of medical primatology (pharmacology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, stomatology, and central nervous system pathology and physiology), i.e., in those sciences where monkeys are absolutely necessary and where they are used with great efficacy.
猕猴属的成员是灵长类生物医学研究中最常用的动物。猕猴在医学灵长类学快速发展的分支领域（药理学、内分泌学、眼科学、口腔学以及中枢神经系统病理学和生理学）中使用最为广泛（占总使用量的50%至73%），即在那些绝对需要猴子且使用效果极佳的科学领域。
