“…Many zoonoses originate from or have as reservoirs non-human primates ( 30 , 149 ). Asia has been the origin of several suspected zoonotic transmission events over the past decades (e.g., previous SARS outbreaks in the 2000s, Nipah virus in 1998, and H5N1 avian influenza virus in the 2000s); underscoring the critical role of the region in the transmission dynamics and the emergence of zoonotic diseases ( 150 ). Surveillance of wildlife hosts and potential reservoirs is a crucial initial step to mitigate the risk of future pandemics ( 13 ).…”

IntroductionOngoing global changes, including natural land conversion for agriculture and urbanization, modify the dynamics of human–primate contacts, resulting in increased zoonotic risks. Although Asia shelters high primate diversity and experiences rapid expansion of human–primate contact zones, there remains little documentation regarding zoonotic surveillance in the primates of this region.MethodsUsing the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review to compile an inventory of zoonotic pathogens detected in wild Asian primates, while highlighting the coverage of primate species, countries, and pathogen groups surveyed, as well as the diagnostic methods used across the studies. Moreover, we compared the species richness of pathogens harbored by primates across diverse types of habitats classified according to their degree of anthropization (i.e., urban vs. rural vs. forest habitats).Results and discussionSearches of Scopus, PubMed, and the Global Mammal Parasite Database yielded 152 articles on 39 primate species. We inventoried 183 pathogens, including 63 helminthic gastrointestinal parasites, two blood-borne parasites, 42 protozoa, 45 viruses, 30 bacteria, and one fungus. Considering each study as a sample, species accumulation curves revealed no significant differences in specific richness between habitat types for any of the pathogen groups analyzed. This is likely due to the insufficient sampling effort (i.e., a limited number of studies), which prevents drawing conclusive findings. This systematic review identified several publication biases, particularly the uneven representation of host species and pathogen groups studied, as well as a lack of use of generic diagnostic methods. Addressing these gaps necessitates a multidisciplinary strategy framed in a One Health approach, which may facilitate a broader inventory of pathogens and ultimately limit the risk of cross-species transmission at the human–primate interface. Strengthening the zoonotic surveillance in primates of this region could be realized notably through the application of more comprehensive diagnostic techniques such as broad-spectrum analyses without a priori selection.

“…It represents one of the most important drivers in the (re-)emergence of viral zoonoses [ 30 ]. Since deforestation, urbanisation, agriculture and livestock farming have large-scale impacts on the natural landscape, a domino effect is observed in pathogen and host species abundance, exposure rates as well as pathogen coevolution [ 31 , 32 ]. A study conducted by García-Peña et al [ 33 ] found that in areas with high rodent species diversity, the expansion of croplands into pastures and forests increased the risk of zoonotic disease emergence through the circulation of several different types of pathogens such as hantaviruses.…”

Diseases that are transmitted from vertebrate animals to humans are referred to as zoonotic diseases. Although microbial agents such as bacteria and parasites are linked to zoonotic events, viruses account for a high percentage of zoonotic diseases that have emerged. Worryingly, the 21st century has seen a drastic increase in the emergence and re-emergence of viral zoonotic disease. Even though humans and animals have coexisted for millennia, anthropogenic factors have severely increased interactions between the two populations, thereby increasing the risk of disease spill-over. While drivers such as climate shifts, land exploitation and wildlife trade can directly affect the (re-)emergence of viral zoonotic disease, globalisation, geopolitics and social perceptions can directly facilitate the spread of these (re-)emerging diseases. This opinion paper discusses the “intelligent” nature of viruses and their exploitation of the anthropogenic factors driving the (re-)emergence and spread of viral zoonotic disease in a modernised and connected world.

“…The emergence and reemergence of zoonotic diseases can be attributed to various factors. Some of those factors are described as follows:  Deforestation and animals' habitat destruction for the purpose of expanding agriculture, logging or urbanization has increased the contact between humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, thus, facilitating disease transmission (Goldstein et al 2022).…”

Zoonotic diseases highlight the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Wildlife has historically served as a significant source of infectious illnesses that have the potential to infect humans. Wildlife account 71.8% of emerging and reemerging zoonosis. Wildlife trafficking and relocation, live animal and bushmeat markets, unusual food consumption, tourist development, access to petting zoos, and exotic pet ownership are the main factors in the emergence and reemergence of wildlife zoonosis. Along with these, anthropogenic activities and their impact on biodiversity, habitat destruction, changes in agricultural methods, and globalization of commercial activity are also major contributors of wildlife zoonosis. Although actual human-pathogen transmission is relatively rare, once it happens, human-to-human transmission can keep the infection going for short period of time or even permanently. Pathogens that exhibit this type of transmission include the Ebola virus, influenza A, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome. However, some are transmitted via animal-to-human through direct contact or through a vector, which is the actual means of infection transmission to people. Pathogens such as rabies, lyssaviruses, Nipah virus, West Nile virus, Hantavirus, and the agents of Lyme borreliosis, plague, tularemia, leptospirosis, and ehrlichiosis are examples of pathogens having this pattern of transmission. Wildlife zoonosis have impose a substantial burden on healthcare systems, may cause extensive epidemics, and have a likelihood of developing into pandemics. Understanding the epidemiology and risk factors for zoonotic illnesses will assist in the development of effective preventative techniques such as monitoring, early diagnosis, rapid treatment, and vaccinations. This information is vital for taking early preventive measures to safeguard human populations, economic resources and reduce the effect of any possible future disease outbreaks.
