Human culture and monkey behavior: Assessing the contexts of potential pathogen transmission between macaques and humans

Article Abstract:

The risk analysis framework is used to explore what is known about human-non-human primate (NHP) transmission of measles, what directions future research on the subject should take, and how these data can be used to reduce the risk of human-NHP disease transmission. The main points with respect to risk analysis are illustrated through macaque populations at two sites, with contrasting patterns of measles antibody seroprevalence.
