“…In a study conducted in Thailand, a similar prevalence of 28.2%, was found in gibbons. 56 The high detection of HSV-1 DNA found in our study can be explained by the close contact between humans and Callithrix spp. or accounted for by monkey-monkey transmission following an initial introduction from human contact.…”

BACKGROUND Herpesvirus transmission between humans and non-human primate (NHP) can occur through contact scratches with lesions, infected saliva, and mainly through contaminated food. Therefore, cross-infection can lead to severe illness or even death for both the animal and human. In 2017, during the yellow fever (YF) outbreak in Brazil, species of the New World Primates (NWP) from Rio de Janeiro state, tested negative for yellow fever virus (YFV) detection. OBJECTIVES To evaluate herpesvirus in the population NWP in Rio de Janeiro. METHODS To investigate, liver samples of 283 NWP, from several regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, were tested for the herpesvirus family using a Pan -polymerase chain reaction ( Pan -PCR) and sequencing. FINDINGS 34.6% (98/283) tested positive for at least one herpesvirus; 29.3% (83/283) tested positive to Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HSV-1), this virus from humans can be lethal to New World monkey; 13% (37/283) were detected Callitrichine gammaherpesvirus 3 (CalHV-3), responsible for lymphoproliferative disease that can be fatal in NWP. In addition, CalHV-3 / HSV-1 co-infection was in 11.6% (33/283) of the samples. MAIN CONCLUSIONS Pan -herpesvirus was useful to identify species-specific herpesviruses and virus from human that can infect animals. Furthermore, during an outbreak of YF other infections should be monitored.

“…As summarized in Table 1 , herpesviruses related to BV have been isolated from chimpanzees [ 146 ], baboons [ 147 – 150 ], vervets [ 151 ], langurs [ 43 ] and several species of South American monkeys [ 152 – 155 ]. Serologic studies indicate the existence of related α-herpesviruses in other NHP species as well [ 41 , 156 – 162 ]. If herpesviruses have co-evolved with their host species as phylogenetic analyses suggest, all NHP species are likely to have their own unique α-herpesviruses that are genetically and antigenically related to known NHP herpesviruses.…”

Viruses related to the herpes simplex viruses of humans are present in all nonhuman primate (NHP) species tested and cross species transmission has been documented. The herpesvirus present in macaques, Herpes B virus (BV) rarely causes disease in its natural macaque host. However, when transmitted to a nonnative host, BV has occasionally caused severe and even fatal disease if not treated immediately. Here we present a comprehensive review of the taxonomy, molecular biology, physiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of BV. We also summarizes what is known about related herpesviruses of other NHP species and the zoonotic potential of these viruses.
