“…Experimental infection has shown the capacity of Asian monkey species to sustain infection with human enteroviruses (44)(45)(46), and numerous studies have reported the presence of antibody to human EV in a variety of NHP species in natural settings (21,22).…”

“…In humans, EV may cause illness ranging from undifferentiated fever and the common cold to rashes, meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, and neonatal sepsis (20). There is serological evidence for cross-species transmission of enteroviruses between humans and NHP (21,22), and human enteroviruses have occasionally been isolated from NHP (23)(24)(25), but there are few data on enteroviral disease in NHP. We recently identified an "unusual" group of human EVs (EV76, EV89, EV90, and EV91), isolated from stool specimens of children with acute flaccid paralysis in Bangladesh (26).…”

The term synanthropic describes organisms that thrive in human-altered habitats. Where synanthropic nonhuman primates (NHP) share an ecological niche with humans, cross-species transmission of infectious agents can occur. In Bangladesh, synanthropic NHP are found in villages, densely populated cities, religious sites, and protected forest areas. NHP are also kept as performing monkeys and pets. To investigate possible transmission of enteric picornaviruses between humans and NHP, we collected fecal specimens from five NHP taxa at16 locations in Bangladesh during five field sessions, from January 2007 to June 2008. Specimens were screened using real-time PCR assays for the genera Enterovirus, Parechovirus, and Sapelovirus; PCR-positive samples were typed by VP1 sequencing. To compare picornavirus diversity between humans and NHP, the same assays were applied to 211 human stool specimens collected in Bangladesh in 2007 to 2008 for acute flaccid paralysis surveillance. Picornaviruses were detected in 78 of 677 (11.5%) NHP fecal samples. Twenty distinct human enterovirus (EV) serotypes, two bovine EV types, six human parechovirus serotypes, and one virus related to Ljungan virus were identified. Twenty-five additional enteroviruses and eight parechoviruses could not be typed. Comparison of the picornavirus serotypes detected in NHP specimens with those detected in human specimens revealed considerable overlap. Strikingly, no known simian enteroviruses were detected among these NHP populations. In conclusion, enteroviruses and parechoviruses may be transmitted between humans and synanthropic NHP in Bangladesh, but the directionality of transmission is unknown. These findings may have important implications for the health of both human and NHP populations.

“…Antigenic and molecular comparisons have suggested that swine vesicular disease virus emerged in the past 50 years through infection of swine with the human pathogen coxsackievirus B5, followed by subsequent adaptation and evolution of the virus in the new host (1,7,40,41). Serologic studies have suggested that the simian picornaviruses may infrequently infect humans, particularly those with natural or occupational exposure to wild primates (17). There is no evidence that simian picornaviruses are capable of causing disease in humans, but a number of other primate viruses, including herpesvirus B and monkeypox virus, are closely related to human pathogens and have the potential to directly cause serious disease in humans (6).…”

The simian picornaviruses were isolated from various primate tissues during the development of general tissue culture methods in the 1950s to 1970s or from specimens derived from primates used in biomedical research. Twenty simian picornavirus serotypes are recognized, and all are presently classified within the Enterovirus genus. To determine the phylogenetic relationships among all of the simian picornaviruses and to evaluate their classification, we have determined complete VP1 sequences for 19 of the 20 serotypes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A13, SV19, SV26, SV35, SV43, and SV46 are members of human enterovirus species A, a group that contains enterovirus 71 and 11 of the coxsackie A viruses. SA5 is a member of human enterovirus species B, which contains the echoviruses, coxsackie B viruses, coxsackievirus A9, and enterovirus 69. SV6, N125, and N203 are related to one another and, more distantly, to species A human enteroviruses, but could not be definitely assigned to a species. SV4 and SV28 are closely related to one another and to A-2 plaque virus, but distinct from other enteroviruses, suggesting that these simian viruses are members of a new enterovirus species. SV2, SV16, SV18, SV42, SV44, SV45, and SV49 are related to one another but distinct from viruses in all other picornavirus genera, suggesting that they may comprise a previously unknown genus in Picornaviridae. Several simian virus VP1 sequences (N125 and N203; SV4 and SV28; SV19, SV26, and SV35; SV18 and SV44; SV16, SV42, and SV45) are greater than 75% identical to one another (and/or greater than 85% amino acid identity), suggesting that the true number of distinct serotypes among the viruses surveyed is less than 20.

“…Through the course of extensive uses of nonhuman primates as laboratory animals, it has been well recognized that wild-originated monkeys generally have serum antibodies against many viral species (Hull, 1968;Hsiung, 1968;Kalter and Heberling, 1971;Kalter, 1973;Yamane, 1974). However, little information is available as yet regarding not only the incidence of some viral antibodies at the time of reception in a particular group of newlyimported wild monkeys but also the fluctuation of positive rate and titer of those antibodies during the quarantine period in the same import-group.…”

SUMMARY: On 592 cynomolgus monkeys of newly-imported 14 different groups, sero-epidemiological follow-up surveys of natural infections with SV5, measles (MV) and herpes simplex (HSV) were conducted both at the time of arrival and at the end of the 9-week quarantine period at Tsukuba Primate Center for Medical Science (TPC).At the time of arrival, the positive rate of antibodies against these viruses greatly varied with different countries of origin. As regards SV5, the positive rate ranged widely from 0 to 94.9% among different import-groups, being markedly low in the Philippine monkey groups. The positive rate of MV antibody was generally very high, varying from 11.1 to 78.2% in almost all import-groups except two groups from Indonesia in which no positive case was detected. Concerning HSV, every import-group had a very high positive rate though the average antibody titer was not so high.Generally, the positive rates of SV5 and MV markedly increased by the end of quarantine period. Especially, MV positive rate reached 100% in almost all of the import-groups.However, two Indonesian groups showed no increase of SV5 and MV positive rates during the quarantine period. No increase of SV5 positive rate was detected either with any of three Philippine groups. As for HSV, the positive rate remained unchanged or rather decreased during the quarantine period in almost all groups except two Indonesian groups having shown a significant increase.
