山地大猩猩和人类的遗传相关性引发了人们对传染病病原体种间传播的担忧。人与大猩猩之间的传播可以解释2009年卢旺达呼吸道疾病爆发期间死亡的2只野生山地大猩猩中的人类偏肺病毒。需要进行监测，以确保这些极度濒危动物的生存。
The genetic relatedness of mountain gorillas and humans has led to concerns about interspecies transmission of infectious agents. Human-to-gorilla transmission may explain human metapneumovirus in 2 wild mountain gorillas that died during a respiratory disease outbreak in Rwanda in 2009. Surveillance is needed to ensure survival of these critically endangered animals.
