Abstract
Non-human primates (NHP) are kept in human care from zoos, research laboratories, rescue centers and even as pet. In addition, free-range or feral primate species in several countries have close human interaction. Zoonotic diseases of NHP origin can occur during occupational exposure, hunting, consumption of contaminated food, vector exposure, and leisure activities (ecotourism), among others. Human and NHPs share many similarities, not only anatomically but also physiologically, which makes them both susceptible to many species-specific pathogens. NHP are valuable models for many human infectious diseases; therefore, staff can be exposed to many potential pathogens. Veterinary staff working with NHPs are exposed to zoonotic pathogens via bites, scratches, and accidental contact with body fluids. The zoonotic potential and the complexity of the different species required an advanced expertise in veterinary medicine. The agent of zoonotic disease of primates can be viruses, bacteria and parasites. Animals reared in restricted environments are highly susceptible to gastrointestinal infection by helminths and protozoa and therefore zoos are characterized as being parasite rich environments. Successful implementation of control programs of these parasites in zoo environment depends upon precise and rapid diagnosing of gastrointestinal infections.
