*on the same property as the texas bio lab is a primate research lab - it's the only privately owned/funded bio-level 4 in the entire world.

Biosafety level 4
 
The [b]Galveston National Laboratory BSL-4[/b] (P4) lab on the Campus of the University of Texas Medical Branch 
This level is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections, agents which cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, Lassa virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and various other hemorrhagic diseases. This level of protection is also used for work with materials considered so dangerous as to require it regardless of vaccination availability such as Smallpox.

A Novel Adenovirus Species Associated with an [b]Acute Respiratory Outbreak[/b] in a Baboon Colony and Evidence of Coincident Human Infection

Adenoviruses (AdVs) [b]are DNA viruses that infect many vertebrate hosts, including humans and nonhuman primates[/b]. Here we identify a novel AdV species, provisionally named “simian adenovirus C (SAdV-C),” associated with a 1997 outbreak of acute respiratory illness in captive baboons (4 of 9) at a[b] primate research facility in Texas[/b].
