    Insights

    This paper details infectious diseases in monkeys, covering bacterial and viral infections observed over years. It highlights diseases suitable for modeling in monkeys and those uniquely studied in these animals, including human-health risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Primatology
    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Long-term independent observations of monkey pathologies at Sukhumi and Adler primatological facilities.
    • Focus on bacterial (anthroponosous and zoogenous) and viral infections in monkeys.

    Purpose:

    • To describe infectious diseases in monkeys.
    • To identify pathologies suitable for modeling in non-human primates.
    • To highlight diseases uniquely studied in monkeys.

    Summary:

    • Detailed description of various infectious diseases affecting monkeys.
    • Identification of specific monkey-borne pathogens posing risks to humans in research settings.
    • Elucidation of pathologies that can be effectively modeled or exclusively studied in primate models.

    Impact:

    • Informs veterinary pathology and primatology research.
    • Enhances understanding of zoonotic disease transmission and prevention in research facilities.
    • Provides insights into the selection of appropriate animal models for disease research.

    Standard Precaution

    Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
    Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...
    Rabies01:28

    Rabies

    Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...
