Human-Borne Pathogens: Are They Threatening Wild Great Ape Populations? [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Climate change and anthropic activities are the two main factors explaining wild great ape habitat reduction and population decline. The extent to which human-borne infectious diseases are contributing to this trend is still poorly understood.
