Despite being important conservation tools, tourism and research may cause transmission of pathogens to wild great apes. Investigating respiratory disease outbreaks in wild bonobos, we identified human respiratory syncytial virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae as causative agents. A One Health approach to disease control should become part of great ape programs.
尽管旅游和研究是重要的保护手段,但它们可能会导致病原体传播给野生大猩猩。在对野生倭黑猩猩的呼吸道疾病暴发进行调查时,我们确定人类呼吸道合胞病毒和肺炎链球菌为病原体。采用“同一健康”方法进行疾病控制应成为大猩猩保护计划的一部分。
