2013-07-24ZeitschriftenartikelAbsence of Frequent Herpesvirus Transmission in a Nonhuman Primate Predator-Prey System in the Wild Emergence of viruses into the human population by transmission from nonhuman primates (NHPs) represents a serious potential threat to human health that is primarily associated with the increased bushmeat trade. Transmission ...

2010-11-03ZeitschriftenartikelAfrican great apes are naturally infected with polyomaviruses closely related to Merkel cell polyomavirus The oncogenic Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infects humans worldwide, but little is known about the occurrence of viruses related to MCPyV in the closest phylogenetic relatives of humans, great apes. We analyzed samples ...

2012-05-08ZeitschriftenartikelDetection of retroviral super-infection from non-invasive samples. While much attention has been focused on the molecular epidemiology of retroviruses in wild primate populations, the correlated question of the frequency and nature of super-infection events, i.e., the simultaneous infection ...

2012-05-01ZeitschriftenartikelDiversity of parvovirus 4-like viruses in humans, chimpanzees, and monkeys in hunter-prey relationships. During 2010–2011, we investigated interspecies transmission of partetraviruses between predators (humans and chimpanzees) and their prey (colobus monkeys) in Côte d’Ivoire. Despite widespread infection in all species ...

2008-05-28ZeitschriftenartikelInterspecies transmission of simian foamy virus in a natural predator-prey system Simian foamy viruses (SFV) are ancient retroviruses of primates and have coevolved with their host species for as many as 30 million years. Although humans are not naturally infected with foamy virus, infection is occasionally ...

2009-06-24ZeitschriftenartikelNovel cytomegaloviruses in free-ranging and captive great apes: phylogenetic evidence for bidirectional horizontal transmission Wild great apes often suffer from diseases of unknown aetiology. This is among the causes of population declines. Because human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important pathogen, especially in immunocompromised individuals, ...
