估计70%的新发和再发人类传染病是由人畜共患病原体引起的。在撒哈拉以南非洲，狩猎和屠宰肉食被认为是人类与野生动物接触和人畜共患病传播的主要风险因素，特别是猿猴逆转录病毒的传播。然而，狩猎只是撒哈拉以南非洲地区使人与野生动物接触的许多活动之一。在这里，我们研究了乌干达西部的人与动物的相互作用，确定了动物受伤的模式和与非人类灵长类动物的接触。此外，我们还确定了与接触相关的个人风险因素。近20%（246/1，240）的参与者报告说，他们一生中要么被动物伤害，要么与灵长类动物接触。大多数（51.7%）受伤是狗咬伤，愈合后没有长期的医疗后果。在125次灵长类动物接触中，大多数（76.8%）涉及触摸尸体;然而，也报告了屠宰（20%），狩猎（10%）和触摸活的灵长类动物（10%）。红疣猴（Piliocolobus rufomitratus tephrosceles）占大多数灵长类动物接触事件。多变量逻辑回归分析表明，居住在森林片段附近的男性接触动物的风险较高，特别是接触灵长类动物。我们的研究结果提供了一个有用的比较西部和中部非洲的“食肉狩猎”是人类与野生动物接触和人畜共患病传播的主要范例。
Zoonotic pathogens cause an estimated 70% of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in humans. In sub-Saharan Africa, bushmeat hunting and butchering is considered the primary risk factor for human-wildlife contact and zoonotic disease transmission, particularly for the transmission of simian retroviruses. However, hunting is only one of many activities in sub-Saharan Africa that bring people and wildlife into contact. Here, we examine human-animal interaction in western Uganda, identifying patterns of injuries from animals and contact with nonhuman primates. Additionally, we identify individual-level risk factors associated with contact. Nearly 20% (246/ 1,240) of participants reported either being injured by an animal or having contact with a primate over their lifetimes. The majority (51.7%) of injuries were dog bites that healed with no long term medical consequences. The majority (76.8%) of 125 total primate contacts involved touching a carcass; however, butchering (20%), hunting (10%), and touching a live primate (10%) were also reported. Red colobus (Piliocolobus rufomitratus tephrosceles) accounted for most primate contact events. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that men who live adjacent to forest fragments are at elevated risk of animal contact and specifically primate contact. Our results provide a useful comparison to West and Central Africa where “bushmeat hunting” is the predominant paradigm for human-wildlife contact and zoonotic disease transmission.
