我们对322名北美动物园工作人员进行了猴泡沫病毒抗体的匿名血清调查，以确定这些逆转录病毒传播人畜共患疾病的潜在风险。133名专门从事包括灵长类动物在内的哺乳动物工作的人员中有4人（3%）血清呈阳性，主要是黑猩猩类病毒，这表明减少接触这些病原体的工作实践的重要性。
We investigated 322 North American zoo workers in an anonymous serosurvey for antibodies to simian foamy viruses to establish the potential risk of zoonotic transmission by these retroviruses. 4 of 133 (3%) individuals who worked specifically with mammals including primates were seropositive, primarily with chimp-like viruses, indicating the importance of work practices to reduce exposure to these agents.
