Student and Teacher Attitudes Toward a School‐Based Firearm Injury Prevention Presentation in Washington State
BACKGROUND: Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death among United States youth. Few evidence-based interventions exist that address this issue. High school health classrooms may be an effective way to inform youth about firearm-related risks. METHODS: During 2024-2025, medical students and physicians delivered 55-min firearm injury prevention presentations in western Washington public high schools. Post-presentation surveys measured knowle…

Diversity and molecular phylogeny of mitochondrial DNA of rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) in Bangladesh
While studies of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in the eastern (e.g., China) and western (e.g., India) parts of their geographic range have revealed major genetic differences that warrant the recognition of two different subspecies, little is known about genetic characteristics of rhesus macaques in the transitional zone extending from eastern India and Bangladesh through the northern part of Indo-China, the probable original homeland of the sp…
Primates and primatologists
Humans and nonhuman primates (NHP) interact in a variety of contexts. The frequency, duration, and intensity of interspecies interaction influence the likelihood that contact results in cross‐species transmission of infectious agents. In this study, we present results of a cross‐sectional survey of attendees at a national conference of primatologists, characterizing their occupational exposures to NHP. Of 116 individuals who participated in the s…
Synanthropic primates in Asia
Macaques are similar to humans both physiologically and behaviorally. In South and Southeast Asia they are also synanthropic, ecologically associated with humans. Synanthropy with humans raises the possibility that macaques come into contact with anthropogenic toxicants, such as lead and mercury, and might be appropriate sentinels for human exposures to certain toxic materials. We measured lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) levels and characterized the s…
Disease risk analysis
Concern about emerging and re‐emerging diseases plays an increasing role in conservation and management of both captive and free‐ranging nonhuman primates (NHPs). Managers and policy makers must formulate conservation plans in an arena plagued by uncertainty, complexity, emotion, and politics. The risk analysis paradigm provides a framework that brings together scientists and policy experts to make better decisions for both people and animals. Ri…
Disease risk analysis
Risk analysis is a multidisciplinary process used to evaluate existing knowledge in order to prioritize risks associated with the spread of disease. A principle aim of risk analysis is to facilitate the development of cost‐effective management strategies. Risk analysis calls for a multidisciplinary approach to piece together and integrate the numerous factors that influence disease transmission. The seven papers included in this volume of AJP pre…
Considering human–primate transmission of measles virus through the prism of risk analysis
Measles is a respiratory virus that is endemic to humans. Human–nonhuman primate (NHP) transmission of the measles virus has been shown to cause significant morbidity and mortality in NHP populations. We investigated serological evidence of exposure to measles virus in two free‐ranging populations of macaques at the Bukit Timah (BTNR) and Central Catchment Nature (CCNR) reserves in Singapore and the Swoyambhu Temple in Katmandu, Nepal. At BTNR/CC…
Risk assessment
Contact between humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs) frequently occurs at monkey temples (religious sites that have become associated with free‐ranging populations of NHPs) in Asia, creating the potential for NHP–human disease transmission. In March 2003 a multidisciplinary panel of experts participated in a workshop designed to model the risk of NHP–human pathogen transmission. The panel developed a risk assessment model to describe the likelihoo…
Genetic characterization of rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) in Nepal
Indian‐origin rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) have long served as an animal model for the study of human disease and behavior. Given the current shortage of Indian‐origin rhesus, many researchers have turned to rhesus macaques from China as a substitute. However, a number of studies have identified marked genetic differences between the Chinese and Indian animals. We investigated the genetic characteristics of a third rhesus population, the rh…
Prevalence of enteric parasites in pet macaques in Sulawesi, Indonesia
On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, nonhuman primate pets come into frequent contact with humans, presenting the possibility of zoonotic and anthropozoonotic disease transmission. We collected fecal samples from 88 pet macaques representing six of the seven macaque species currently recognized as endemic to Sulawesi ( Macaca nigra, M. nigrescens, M. hecki, M. tonkeana, M. maura , and M. ochreata ) as well as two non‐endemic species ( M. fascicu…
Detection of antibodies to selected human pathogens among wild and pet macaques ( Macaca tonkeana ) in Sulawesi, Indonesia
Human‐to‐primate disease transmission can potentially cause significant morbidity and mortality among wild primate populations and thus constitutes an important conservation issue. Our cross‐sectional study examines serological evidence of exposure to human pathogens among wild and pet macaques in Sulawesi. Serum samples taken from 11 pet and 15 wild macaques ( Macaca tonkeana ) were analyzed for antibodies to a panel of viruses commonly encounte…
From the Mouths of Monkeys
Although the M ycobacterium tuberculosis complex ( MTBC ) infects a third of all humans, little is known regarding the prevalence of mycobacterial infection in nonhuman primates ( NHP ). For more than a century, tuberculosis has been regarded as a serious infectious threat to NHP species. Advances in the detection of MTBC open new possibilities for investigating the effects of this poorly understood pathogen in diverse populations of NHP . Here, …
