“…The ICOV antibody detection extends the occurrence of the virus to the south, confirms the possibility of infecting NHPs and A caraya's susceptibility. ICOV has been minimally studied, although it is commonly isolated from wild rodents ( Proechimys guyannensis ) in the Brazilian Amazon .…”

“…Saint Louis Encephalitis virus antibodies have been historically detected in NHPs in Brazil, including in RS, Paraná, Bahia, and other states in northeastern Brazil . The virus has been isolated from vectors, birds, humans, and other mammals (including NHPs) in the Amazon region, although only one human outbreak is known.…”

“…Ilhéus virus‐neutralizing antibodies were detected in NHPs in Argentina . The virus, discovered in 1944 in mosquitoes in the city of Ilhéus, state of Bahia, Brazil, continues to circulate among golden‐headed lion tamarins ( Leontopithecus chrysomelas ) in that region . Few ILHV isolates exist from humans in Latin America.…”

“…The Rio Grande do Sul State (RS) Health Department in the extreme south of Brazil followed this regulation and began monitoring YFV and other arboviruses circulating in A caraya and Alouatta guariba clamitans (southern brown howlers) in 2002 . Since then, arbovirus surveillance initiatives in NHPs have been adopted in other Brazilian states, which have indirectly evidenced circulation of SLEV in A caraya , Sapajus nigritus, and Sapajus cay in Paraná in 2004‐2005; Ilhéus virus (ILHV), MAYV, SLEV, Rocio virus (ROCV), Oropouche virus (OROV), and Mucambo virus (MUCV) in Sapajus spp in Alagoas, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, and Rio Grande do Norte in 2008‐2010; Cacipacoré virus (CPCV), MAYV, and OROV in A caraya and Sapajus spp in Mato Grosso do Sul in 2010‐2013; and Bussuquara virus (BSQV), Icoaraci virus (ICOV), ILHV, and SLEV in Leontopithecus chrysomelas in Bahia in 2006‐2014 …”

Background Free‐ranging non‐human primates (NHPs) can host a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, such as arboviruses, which include the yellow fever virus (YFV). This study aimed to detect the circulation of YF and other arboviruses in three wild Alouatta caraya populations in forests in southern Brazil. Methods We collected 40 blood and serum samples from 26 monkeys captured/recaptured up to four times from 2014 to 2016, searching for evidence of arboviruses by virus isolation, PCR, and neutralization tests. Results Viral isolation and genome detection were negative; however, we detected neutralizing antibodies against the Saint Louis, Ilhéus, and Icoaraci viruses in three NHPs. Conclusions Saint Louis Encephalitis, Ilhéus, and Icoaraci viruses circulated recently in the region. Future studies should investigate the role of NHPs, other vertebrate hosts and wild vectors in the region's arbovirus circulation and the potential risks of the arboviruses to wildlife, domestic animals, and humans.

We investigated demographic changes in three primate species (Alouatta guariba, Sapajus nigritus, and Callithrix flaviceps) at the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural-Feliciano Miguel Abdala, Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil, following a yellow fever outbreak (YFO) by comparing their population sizes before (2015) and after the outbreak (2017-2018), and by monitoring the size, composition, and reproductive status of groups from 2017 to 2021. Comparisons of pre-and post-YFO census data indicate the A. guariba population declined by 86.6%, from an estimated minimum of 522 individuals to 70 individuals. However, by October 2021, the population had grown to at least 86 individuals, with an adult sex ratio (N = 53) that was female-biased (0.61). Eleven of the 13 groups being monitored systematically were reproductively active with high survivorship to 12 months of age. S. nigritus declined by 40%, from 377 to 226 individuals. The sex ratio of 33 adult S. nigritus is also female-biased (0.71), and at least 8 of 15 groups being monitored are reproductively active. C. flaviceps declined by 80%, from 85 individuals to the 15-17 individuals observed from 2017 to 2021. The female-biased adult sex ratio and presence of infants and juveniles in the A. guariba and S. nigritus groups are encouraging signs, but there is still great concern, especially for C. flaviceps.Continued monitoring of the demographics of these primates is needed as their persistence appears to still be at risk.

The ongoing coronavirus disease 19s pandemic has yet again demonstrated the importance of the human-animal interface in the emergence of zoonotic diseases, and in particular the role of wildlife and livestock species as potential hosts and virus reservoirs. As most diseases emerge out of the human-animal interface, a better understanding of the specific drivers and mechanisms involved is crucial to prepare for future disease outbreaks. Interactions between wildlife and livestock systems contribute to the emergence of zoonotic diseases, especially in the face of globalization, habitat fragmentation and destruction and climate change. As several groups of viruses and bacteria are more likely to emerge, we focus on pathogenic viruses of the Bunyavirales , Coronaviridae , Flaviviridae , Orthomyxoviridae , and Paramyxoviridae, as well as bacterial species including Mycobacterium sp., Brucella sp., Bacillus anthracis and Coxiella burnetii . Noteworthy, it was difficult to predict the drivers of disease emergence in the past, even for well-known pathogens. Thus, an improved surveillance in hotspot areas and the availability of fast, effective, and adaptable control measures would definitely contribute to preparedness. We here propose strategies to mitigate the risk of emergence and/or re-emergence of prioritized pathogens to prevent future epidemics.
