我们解决的策略，以防止疾病传播从人类到非人类灵长类动物在自然环境。一些实地研究方法，如近距离观察、为适应环境做准备或为重新种群而重新引入，可能会使灵长类动物面临感染人类携带疾病的风险。由于不适当的废物处理或居住在研究地点的人类的不卫生条件，会产生额外的风险。我们描述了几个疾病暴发在灵长类动物现场，强调需要适当的方案来诊断，治疗，并防止复发。要找到疾病传播问题的解决办法，需要改变许多个人的行为和政策，包括实地研究人员、兽医、人类卫生保健提供者、公园工作人员、政府官员、当地村民和游客。预防接触传染病是保护灵长类动物的一个重要的、基本的方面；确保野生灵长类动物种群的健康和长寿对控制偷猎和森林保护等更为传统的保护问题至关重要。
We address the strategies to prevent disease transmission from human to non-human primates in natural settings. Some field research methods, such as gaining close proximity for observation, provisioning for habituation, or reintroducing for repopulation, may place primate subjects at risk for acquiring human-carried diseases. Additional risks arise through inadequate waste disposal or nonhygienic conditions of humans residing at the study site. We describe several disease outbreaks at primate field sites, emphasizing the need for proper protocols to diagnose, to treat, and to prevent recurrence. Finding solutions to the disease transmission problem requires effecting change in the behavior and policies of many individuals, including field researchers, veterinarians, human health care providers, park personnel, government officials, local villagers, and tourists. The prevention of exposure to infectious disease is an important, fundamental aspect of primate conservation; the assurance of good health and longevity in wild primate populations is paramount to the more traditional conservation issues of poaching control and forest protection.
