The observation was performed on study days 0, 7, 14, 27, and 28 post chigger challenge. Normal = rhesus macaque has normal activity and appetite. The monkey ate more than 21 monkey biscuits per day or more than 11 biscuits in the afternoon. Moderate reduced appetite = monkey ate 6 to 14 biscuits per day or 4 to 7 biscuits in the afternoon. Anorexia = the monkey ate less than 5 pieces biscuits per day or less than 3 biscuits in the afternoon.
