Abstract

ABSTRACT Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) are known to harbour a variety of infectious pathogens, including zoonotic species. Long-tailed macaques and humans coexist in Thailand, which creates potential for interspecies pathogen transmission. This study was conducted to assess the presence of B virus, Mycobacterium spp., simian foamy virus (SFV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and Plasmodium spp. in 649 free-living Thai long-tailed macaques through polymerase-chain reaction. DNA of SFV (56.5%), HBV (0.3%), and Plasmodium spp. (2.2%) was detected in these macaques, whereas DNA of B virus and Mycobacterium spp. was absent. SFV infection in long-tailed macaques is broadly distributed in Thailand and is correlated with age. The HBV sequences in this study were similar to HBV sequences from orangutans. Plasmodium spp. DNA was identified as P. inui. Collectively, our results indicate that macaques can carry zoonotic pathogens, which have a public health impact. Surveillance and awareness of pathogen transmission between monkeys and humans are important.

泰国自由生活长尾猕猴的人畜共患病原体调查

众所周知，长尾猕猴(Macaca fascicularis)携带多种传染性病原体，包括人畜共患病物种。在泰国，长尾猕猴和人类共存，这造成了种间病原体传播的可能性。采用聚合酶链反应法对649只自由生活的泰国长尾猕猴进行了乙型病毒、分枝杆菌、猿泡沫病毒(SFV)、乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和疟原虫(Plasmodium spp)的检测。在这些猕猴中检测到SFV(56.5%)、HBV(0.3%)和疟原虫(2.2%)的DNA，而未检测到B病毒和分枝杆菌的DNA。泰国长尾猕猴的SFV感染广泛分布，且与年龄相关。本研究的HBV序列与猩猩的HBV序列相似。疟原虫DNA鉴定为犬疟原虫。总的来说，我们的结果表明猕猴可以携带人畜共患病原体，这对公共卫生有影响。对猴与人之间病原体传播的监测和认识很重要。
