Primates more vulnerable to Covid-19, experts warn, as gorillas in US zoo test positive

Shared DNA with humans means great apes and other primates are at particular risk 12 January 2021 • 6:10pm Gorillas sit after two of their troop tested positive for COVID-19 after falling ill at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park Credit: Reuters Zoos must take extra care to ensure primates are not hit with Covid-19, as their shared DNA with humans makes them particularly vulnerable, experts have warned. The warning came after at least two endangered gorillas at San Diego Zoo caught the virus, believed to have been carried by a zookeeper who had been wearing a mask but was asymptomatic. Gorillas share around 98 per cent of their DNA with humans and other primates even more, making them vulnerable to human infections. A common cold could kill a gorilla.

Monkey World backs call for ban on keeping primates as pets

People in England could be banned from keeping monkeys as pets under new Government proposals. Up to 5,000 primates are believed to kept as pets in the UK outside of licensed zoos, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said. The group of wild mammals, which include lemurs, monkeys and apes, are highly intelligent, require open spaces, varied diets, warmth and social contact. Dorset-based animal sanctuary Monkey World said it had taken in more than 100 primates from the UK pet trade, with 78 rescued in the past 10 years and more than 100 on its waiting list. Monkey World director Dr Alison Cronin said: “Current laws are not protecting the monkeys from abuse or neglect, as they arrive at the park malnourished, with rickets, mobility problems and psychologically damaged as a result of living in solitary confinement, inside people’s houses.
