While having Blood Type affect pathogen spread is a very interesting concept, I feel like the vast majority of people just have the default Blood Type for their characters and did not bother changing it.
Also, I feel like testing on monkeys just to see the effects of your pathogen (if you really want to do that) can be easily handled by having the pathologist wear safety gear and having shutters to lock down pathology. I've done that on occasion, and it worked pretty well. If you're really concerned about a random person running in and getting infected, you can always just use the time that it takes for the pathogen to advance in the monkey to make some cures just in case.
