Hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas) may transmit zoonotic vector-borne pathogens to visitors and workers frequenting zoological parks. We molecularly screened 33 baboons for vector-borne pathogens. Three (9.1%) of 33 animals tested positive for Rickettsia conorii subspecies israelensis. Clinicians should be aware of potential health risks from spatial overlapping between baboons and humans.
狒狒（Papio hamadryas）可能会将人畜共患的媒介传播病原体传播给频繁光顾动物园的游客和工作人员。我们对 33 只狒狒进行了媒介传播病原体的分子筛查。33 只动物中有 3 只（9.1%）检测出以色列里夫特裂谷热亚种立克次体阳性。临床医生应该意识到狒狒和人类空间重叠带来的潜在健康风险。
