The department said the monkeys were being hauled from Tulane University. In a post on X, the school said that its National Biological Research Center provides primates to other research organizations to "advance science" and that the monkeys in question were not infectious.
In a statement to NBC News Tuesday night, the university said the monkeys belonged to a third party.
“The primates in question belong to another entity, and they have not been exposed to any infectious agent,” it said. “The non-human primates were NOT being transported by Tulane, but we are actively collaborating with local authorities and are sending a team of animal care experts to assist.”
