“…Rates of monkey bites in facilities seeing animal bite wounds have been reported from a number of countries and range from 3.2% in India to 0.7% in Israel (72,102,120). In the United Kingdom, an animal housing facility reported 85 monkey bites (67 incidents in men and 18 in women) in handlers over a 6-year period (215).…”

SUMMARY The microbiology of animal bite wound infections in humans is often polymicrobial, with a broad mixture of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. Bacteria recovered from infected bite wounds are most often reflective of the oral flora of the biting animal, which can also be influenced by the microbiome of their ingested prey and other foods. Bacteria may also originate from the victim's own skin or the physical environment at the time of injury. Our review has focused on bite wound infections in humans from dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals such as monkeys, bears, pigs, ferrets, horses, sheep, Tasmanian devils, snakes, Komodo dragons, monitor lizards, iguanas, alligators/crocodiles, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, prairie dogs, swans, and sharks. The medical literature in this area has been made up mostly of small case series or case reports. Very few studies have been systematic and are often limited to dog or cat bite injuries. Limitations of studies include a lack of established or inconsistent criteria for an infected wound and a failure to utilize optimal techniques in pathogen isolation, especially for anaerobic organisms. There is also a lack of an understanding of the pathogenic significance of all cultured organisms. Gathering information and conducting research in a more systematic and methodical fashion through an organized research network, including zoos, veterinary practices, and rural clinics and hospitals, are needed to better define the microbiology of animal bite wound infections in humans.

“…Animal bites are more prevalent in males. They are more likely to be bitten by dogs, monkeys [35], horses and camels and are also more frequently involved in fight injuries, whereas females are more likely to be bitten by cats [36]. In a study held in Kashmir, a total of 203 attacks (26 deaths and 177 near-fatal injuries) were recorded in a period of 2 years, involving 145 (71.5 %) male and 58 (28.5 %) female victims [37].…”

As the bite wounds are frequently located on the face, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon needs to be familiar with the treatment of animal bites, pitfalls in management and to educate patients on ways to avoid future bite injuries. The management of animal bites is an evidence poor area and most recommendations are based on small case series, microbiological data and expert opinion. The main controversies include whether wounds should or should not undergo primary closure and the use of prophylactic antimicrobials.

“…Treatment of any monkey bite begins with recognition of the injury. All personnel working with non-human primates and those physicians employed in emergency or primary-care facilities must become aware of the significance of these inoculations (17). A treatment protocol should be established by each research institution for all primate bites.…”

“…Bites by rhesus (Macaca rnulatta), cynomolgus ( M . fasiculavis), and other Asiatic monkeys of the genus Macaca pose additional risks to handlerdresearchers, and an awareness of the preventive measures that must be undertaken will decrease their associated morbidity and mortality (5,16,17).…”

Nonhuman primate (monkey) bites to researchers and attending animal care staff may present problems in patient management. Such inoculations can transmit serious bacterial and viral infections to the human handlers. Significant local and systemic manifestations can subsequently develop following such an injury. Since Herpesvirus simiae (B virus) is enzootic in Asiatic monkeys of the genus Macaca, and since B virus infection in humans is usually fatal, additional prophylactic and therapeutic measures must be taken when persons are bitten by macaque monkeys. Primate bites require early aggressive intervention.
