Sylvatic Transmission of Chikungunya Virus among Nonhuman Primates in Myanmar - Volume 28, Number 12—December 2022 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

Nonhuman primates living in proximity to humans increase risks for sylvatic arbovirus transmission. We collected serum samples from nonhuman primates in Hlawga National Park near Yangon, Myanmar, and detected antibodies against chikungunya (33%) and Japanese encephalitis (4%) viruses. Buffer zones between primate and human communities might reduce cross-species arbovirus transmission.
