Dear Sir,
This is in response to your inquiry of June 29, 2007, to the
Centers for Disease Control and Promotion, regarding transmission of
disease from nonhuman primates. Our veterinary officer advises the
following:

There have been several documented cases of Herpes B virus. Also, there
have been documented infections of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV),
Simian foamy virus, and Ebola Reston, but none of these have actually
caused disease.

The following documents contain further references, as well as being
useful in themselves:

Guidelines for Prevention of Herpesvirus Simiae (B Virus) Infection in
Monkey Handlers (contains lots of references)

Workers http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00017615.htm

Exposure -- United States, 1996

A literature search through the National Library of Medicine's PubMed
service may turn up more information.

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

and Detection of Infectious Diseases

Do you have any record of disease transmission from non human primates
to humans in the USA?
