Summary Humana Press, Totowa, NJ This chapter describes methods for using non-human
primates as a model of group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. This model has been used
successfully to study host–pathogen interactions occurring during pharyngeal GAS
infections. The protocol as described will compare two different GAS strains for their ability to
cause clinical symptoms of pharyngitis.
