Nonhuman primates (NHPs) constitute an important reservoir of infectious agents, some of which have emerged in human populations as deadly pathogens. Human exposure to the biological fluids of NHPs - particularly through bites - can result in the transmission of several viruses. Only the rabies virus is currently targeted by post-exposure prophylaxis following an injury caused by an NHP. The objective of the study is to investigate the prevalence of STLV-1 and SFV infections following a nonhuman primate bite.
