Selfie-taking tourists risk giving wild gorillas COVID-19 – and other diseases

COVID-19 isn’t merely a human disease animals can catch it too. Species infected so far include domestic cats, lions, tigers, mink, and dogs. In January, three gorillas at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park tested positive, the first such cases in any non-human primate.
The gorillas which were likely infected by an asymptomatic keeper recovered, in part with medical help. Winston, the troop’s 49-year-old leader, who has an underlying heart condition, developed pneumonia and was given antibiotics, heart medication, and monoclonal antibody therapy.  
That great apes are susceptible to the coronavirus doesn’t surprise researchers, given the similarity between humans and primates, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. The worry now is that these animals could be exposed to COVID-19 in the wild. ....

Please wear a mask when taking selfies with gorillas
Gorillas can catch SARS-CoV-2 from humans: in January, it spread to gorillas at the San Diego Zoo, US. Now, research published in the journal 
People and Nature suggests that wild gorillas could also be at risk of contracting the virus from tourists.
The researchers analysed nearly 1,000 Instagram posts during 2013–19, each featuring selfies with gorillas, from people trekking through eastern Africa. Most of the photographs (86%) showed people getting within 4 metres of the gorilla: close enough to easily transfer the virus. People were touching gorillas in 25 photos.
Since 2010, there has been an international standard recommending people stay at least 7m away from gorillas when visiting them in the wild. Only 3% of photos complied with this rule. It’s also been recommended over the past decade that tourists wear face masks when visiting wild gorillas – researchers noted that ....
