Flavivirus antibodies reactive to Zika virus detected in multiple species of nonhuman primates in Kenya, 2008-2017 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background: Zika virus (ZIKV), first described in 1947, is an arthropod-borne virus associated with sporadic outbreaks and interepidemic transmission. Recent studies have implicated nonhuman primates (NHPs) as the probable reservoir hosts. We tested archived serum samples of NHPs collected in Kenya for evidence of neutralizing ZIKV antibodies.
Methods: We randomly selected 212 archived serum samples from Institute of Primate Research ...

Fermented food consumption in wild nonhuman primates and its ecological drivers Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Although fermented food use is ubiquitous in humans, the ecological and evolutionary factors contributing to its emergence are unclear. Here we investigated the ecological contexts surrounding the consumption of fruits in the late stages of fermentation by wild primates to provide insight into its adaptive function. We hypothesized that climate, socioecological traits, and habitat patch size would influence the occurrence ...
Detection of neutralizing antibodies against Zika virus in wild nonhuman primates in Rwanda Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
The range of nonhuman primate (NHP) species involved in Zika virus (ZIKV) sylvatic transmission is not known. We tested 97 NHP archived sera, collected from 2006 to 2016 in Rwandan National Parks, for neutralizing antibodies to ZIKV. Serum from one olive baboon (Papio anubis) was positive for ZIKV antibodies.
