This study documents tickborne encephalitis (TBE) in a Barbary macaque following natural exposure. The TBE virus found in the brain was closely related to the European subtype, strain Neudoerfl.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Neurology
  • Arbovirology
  • Primate Pathology

Background:

  • Tickborne encephalitis (TBE) is a significant neurological disease affecting mammals.
  • Understanding TBE virus (TBEV) transmission and impact in wildlife reservoirs is crucial for public health.
  • Primates can be susceptible to TBEV, but natural infection cases are rarely documented.

Observation:

  • A Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) presented with clinical signs consistent with TBE.
  • The monkey had a history of natural exposure in a TBE-endemic region.
  • Post-mortem examination revealed TBE virus presence within the brain tissue.

Findings:

  • The isolated TBE virus strain was genetically characterized.
  • Sequence analysis confirmed the virus closely matched the European subtype of TBEV, specifically strain Neudoerfl.

  • This represents a documented case of natural TBEV infection in this primate species.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the susceptibility of Macaca sylvanus to TBEV.
    • It underscores the importance of non-human primates as potential sentinels for TBEV activity in endemic areas.
    • Further research into primate TBEV infection dynamics can inform disease surveillance and control strategies.
