Skin diseases in non-human primates (NHP) are common and often zoonotic. Traumatic injury with bacterial infection is the most frequent clinical finding, followed by viral, fungal, and parasitic causes.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Primate Medicine
  • Zoonotic Diseases

Background:

  • Clinical skin disease is frequently observed in non-human primates (NHP).
  • The presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of NHP skin conditions often mirror those in humans and other animals.
  • A significant concern is the zoonotic potential of many NHP skin diseases, necessitating careful animal handling protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the common clinical findings and etiological categories of skin diseases in non-human primates.
  • To highlight the importance of zoonotic potential in managing primate skin conditions.
  • To provide an overview of the relative frequency of different types of skin pathologies in NHP.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical observations and case data regarding skin diseases in non-human primates.

  • Categorization of skin conditions based on etiology (traumatic, viral, mycotic, parasitic, neoplastic, etc.).
  • Assessment of the relative frequency of each disease category.

    • Main Results:

    • Traumatic skin injury with secondary bacterial infection is the most prevalent clinical condition observed.
    • Viral-induced skin diseases represent the second most common category.
    • Other significant causes include mycotic infections, parasitisms, and cancer, with miscellaneous rare conditions also noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Skin diseases in NHP are common and share similarities with human and other animal counterparts.
    • The potential for zoonotic transmission requires stringent safety measures during NHP handling.
    • Understanding the etiological spectrum, led by trauma and infections, is crucial for effective clinical management and public health protection.
