Agents Transmissible from Simians to Man

Více o knize

Interactions between humans and nonhuman primates facilitate the exchange of microorganisms, posing health risks to both species. These contacts occur in various settings, such as shared ecosystems, wildlife research, and captivity. While nonhuman primates are generally more susceptible to human pathogens, zoonotic outbreaks have been documented. The complexity of this issue spans multiple scientific fields, highlighting the need for a comprehensive resource that consolidates knowledge on the transmission of diseases between humans and their primate relatives.
