Cross-species transmission of human hepatitis B virus to wild Neotropical primates

2024-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects approximately one-third of the world’s human population and kills over one million people each year. HBV is also prevalent in Old World apes but not in New World primates. Human-to-primate transmission of HBV was suspected in zoo-captive monkeys and Mauritius macaques, but empirical data are scarce. Here, we collected blood and liver samples from 88 monkeys of 27 species in two area...
