Bacterial Zoonoses (Zoonotic Tuberculosis, Brucellosis, Anthrax, Leptospirosis, Q Fever)
- Primate-Associated Zoonoses:
- Herpes simiae virus (B virus / Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1): Endemic in macaque monkeys; causes asymptomatic oral lesions in macaques but fatal ascending encephalomyelitis in humans following bites or scratches.
- Yellow fever: Sylvatic (jungle) cycle is maintained in non-human forest canopy primates by forest mosquitoes (Haemagogus, Aedes spp.).
- Dengue fever: Retains an ancestral sylvatic cycle maintained between non-human primates and arboreal Aedes mosquitoes in Asian and African rainforests.
- Monkeypox (Mpox): Orthopoxvirus originally discovered in laboratory macaques in 1958; forest rodents and monkeys serve as reservoirs.
Correct option: (1) (A), (B), (C) and (D).
