Abstract
Keeping Neotropical primates in captivity puts them at great risk of illness because of their susceptibility to human herpesvirus. This is the first report on herpesvirus in Callicebus nigrifrons that developed clinical disease and was confirmed by immunohistochemical and RT-PCR. Diagnosis and prevention are essential for the conservation of species.

Callitrichine gammaherpesvirus 3 and Human alphaherpesvirus 1 in New World Primate negative for yellow fever virus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz 2022; 117:e210258.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herpesvirus transmission between humans and non-human primate (NHP) can occur through contact scratches with lesions, infected saliva, and mainly through contaminated food. Therefore, cross-infection can lead to severe illness or even death for both the animal and human. In 2017, during the yellow fever (YF) outbreak in Brazil, species of the New World Primates (NWP) from Rio de Janeiro state, tested negative for yellow fever virus (YFV) detection. OBJECTIVES To evaluate herpesvirus in the population NWP in Rio de Janeiro. METHODS To investigate, liver samples of 283 NWP, from several regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, were tested for the herpesvirus family using a Pan-polymerase chain reaction (Pan-PCR) and sequencing. FINDINGS 34.6% (98/283) tested positive for at least one herpesvirus; 29.3% (83/283) tested positive to Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HSV-1), this virus from humans can be lethal to New World monkey; 13% (37/283) were detected Callitrichine gammaherpesvirus 3 (CalHV-3), responsible for lymphoproliferative disease that can be fatal in NWP. In addition, CalHV-3 / HSV-1 co-infection was in 11.6% (33/283) of the samples. MAIN CONCLUSIONS Pan-herpesvirus was useful to identify species-specific herpesviruses and virus from human that can infect animals. Furthermore, during an outbreak of YF other infections should be monitored.

Abstract
Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HuAHV1) causes fatal neurologic infections in captive New World primates. To determine risks for interspecies transmission, we examined data for 13 free-ranging, black-tufted marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) that died of HuAHV1 infection and had been in close contact with humans in anthropized areas in Brazil during 2012–2019. We evaluated pathologic changes in the marmosets, localized virus and antigen, and assessed epidemiologic features. The main clinical findings were neurologic signs, necrotizing meningoencephalitis, and ulcerative glossitis; 1 animal had necrotizing hepatitis. Transmission electron microscopy revealed intranuclear herpetic inclusions, and immunostaining revealed HuAHV1 and herpesvirus particles in neurons, glial cells, tongue mucosal epithelium, and hepatocytes. PCR confirmed HuAHV1 infection. These findings illustrate how disruption of the One Health equilibrium in anthropized environments poses risks for interspecies virus transmission with potential spillover not only from animals to humans but also from humans to free-ranging nonhuman primates or other animals.

Abstract
Common marmosets are highly susceptible to several viral pathogens that exist as latent or subclinical infections in their natural reservoir hosts but cause severe disease or death when interspecies transmission occurs. Examples of such viruses in marmosets are herpes simplex virus infections, parainfluenza virus 1 infections, and measles acquired from humans, Saimiriine herpesvirus 1 infection after transmission from squirrel monkeys, and infections with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus originating from mice. Other relevant viral infections causing spontaneous disease in common marmoset colonies include cowpox virus infections and paramyxovirus saguinus infections. Callitrichine herpesvirus 3 is a newly recognized lymphocryptovirus that is associated with the development of intestinal lymphoproliferative disease in common marmosets. Most viral pathogens causing disease in common marmosets are potential zoonotic agents, and protective measures should be implemented when handling these small New World monkeys.

Abstract
Herpes B virus (BV) infection is highly prevalent among adult Asian macaques
and rarely causes severe disease in infected animals. In contrast, BV
infection of humans can induce fatal encephalitis in the absence of
treatment. Therefore, the development of diagnostic tests for specific and
sensitive detection of antibodies against BV is an important task. The
cross-reactivity of antibodies against BV with related simplex viruses of
other primates may afford an opportunity to obtain sensitive detection
systems without the need to work with the highly pathogenic BV. Moreover, it
has been proposed that use of recombinant viral glycoproteins may allow for a
detection of antibody responses against BV with high specificity. However,
limited data are available for both approaches to BV diagnostic. Here, we
report that simian agent 8 (SA8; infects African green monkeys)- and
herpesvirus papio 2 (HVP-2; infects baboons)-infected cells allow for a more
sensitive detection of antibody responses against BV in macaques than lysates
of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1/2;
infect humans)-infected cells and a
commercial HSV ELISA (Enzygnost®
Anti-HSV/IgG). In addition, we show that sera from BV-infected macaques
frequently contain antibodies against the recombinant BV glycoprotein gD (BV
gD) that has been previously proposed as a diagnostic target for
discriminating BV- and HSV-induced antibodies. However, we found that
antibodies of some HSV-infected human patients also reacted with BV gD. In
contrast, only sera of HSV-1- and HSV-2-infected humans, but not sera from
BV-infected macaques, reacted with HSV-1/2 gG. Collectively, these results
suggest that both SA8 and HVP-2 allow for sensitive and comparable detection
of BV-directed antibody responses in macaques and that the combination of BV
gD and HSV-1/2 gG needs to be complemented by a least one additional viral
glycoprotein for reliable discrimination between antibody responses against
BV and HSV-1/2 in humans.

Abstract
Viruses related to the herpes simplex viruses of humans are present in all nonhuman primate (NHP) species tested and cross species transmission has been documented. The herpesvirus present in macaques, Herpes B virus (BV) rarely causes disease in its natural macaque host. However, when transmitted to a nonnative host, BV has occasionally caused severe and even fatal disease if not treated immediately. Here we present a comprehensive review of the taxonomy, molecular biology, physiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of BV. We also summarizes what is known about related herpesviruses of other NHP species and the zoonotic potential of these viruses.

Abstract
An 8-month-old common marmoset
(Callithrix jacchus) was presented with tic-like symptoms, and a
2-year-old pigmy marmoset (Callithrix pygmaea) was presented with dyspnea
and hypersalivation. Both monkeys died within a few days, and necropsies were performed.
Histopathological examinations revealed ulcerative stomatitis with epithelial cell
swelling and eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in the oral epithelium of both
cases. In the central and peripheral nervous systems, neuronal cell degeneration with
intranuclear inclusion bodies was observed. Immunohistochemical examination using
anti-herpes simplex virus type 1 antibody revealed virus antigens in both cases. Both
animals had been kept as pets with limited exposure to the ambient environment except via
their owners. Therefore, herpes simplex virus type-1 was probably acquired from close
contact with their owners.

Abstract
AbstractTraditional husbandry practices for the public display of Callitrichidae involve strict separation of animals and public. An important consideration for the evaluation of such management is the occurrence of health problems and potential zoonotic risks. This study compared animal data and veterinary records from a captive, free-roaming population of golden-headed lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysomelas) with a population housed under indoor management. The captive, free-roaming group grew significantly faster than the indoor-housed group, as less animals died and offspring were more successfully weaned. No differences in the causes of death were detected between the two husbandry practices. However, bacterial diseases were most common and diagnosed significantly more often under indoor management. This study suggests that the captive, free-roaming management of golden-headed lion tamarins can be conducive to increased reproductive success, improved health and improved welfare. Therefore, current husbandry recommendations for captive, free-roaming conditions were supported by the findings of the present study as a valuable housing practice where health regulations and proper husbandry parameters permit.
