Parasitic diseases at the wildlife/primate/human interface are of particular importance in zoological gardens. Better understanding of the types of wildlife parasites that do persist in zoological gardens, and drives that lead to increases in prevalence or impacts, can point to new strategies for limiting the risk of human and captive primates' exposure in zoo centres. Also, it improves our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that influence the emergence of parasitic diseases. As wild animals and humans come into greater contact with each other, the risk posed by multi-host parasites for humans, captive primates, and wildlife populations increases. Despite strong public awareness of the fact that wildlife constitutes a large and often unknown reservoir of most emerging infectious diseases, animal-human interaction has not been addressed. Herein, the potential for cross-species parasite transmission between the wild rodents, captive primates and humans is considered using the current literature and medical records. Additionally, some aspects of the interface among wildlife, captive primates and humans and its impacts on human health are discussed. Finally, priorities for future research are identified, including identifying those parasites for which multi-host interaction is likely to have the greatest impact.
野生动物/灵长类动物/人类交叉界面处的寄生虫病在动物园中尤为重要。更好地了解动物园中持续存在的野生动物寄生虫类型，以及导致患病率上升或产生影响的驱动因素，可为限制动物园中心人类和圈养灵长类动物接触风险指明新策略。此外，这有助于我们更好地理解影响寄生虫病出现的潜在机制。随着野生动物与人类的接触日益增多，多宿主寄生虫对人类、圈养灵长类动物和野生动物种群构成的风险也在增加。尽管公众强烈意识到野生动物是大多数新发传染病的巨大且往往未知的宿主，但动物与人类的相互作用尚未得到解决。在此，利用现有文献和医疗记录，探讨了野生啮齿动物、圈养灵长类动物和人类之间跨物种寄生虫传播的可能性。此外，还讨论了野生动物、圈养灵长类动物和人类交叉界面的一些方面及其对人类健康的影响。最后，确定了未来研究的重点，包括确定那些多宿主相互作用可能产生最大影响的寄生虫。
