What diseases can humans get off pet monkeys?
I’m looking for a capuchin monkey and I’ve seen a few that im intrested in, however I have heard that monkeys can pass on many diseases onto humans and I just wanted to know whether these diseases are life threatening? And what diseases can humans get off monkeys?
Humans and primates can catch the same diseases. Chicken pox can kill a monkey, but hept b is neutral in them and not in us. So it varies with the disease, monkeys should be vaccinated and have blood tests yearly, this usually is a good preventive maintenance plan. Most of the documented cases of diseases being transferred from monkey to human has come from monkeys being used as lab rats, and who knows what those people are injecting them with. The CDC website has related articles online that you can look up. Also try www.primastore.com
you can get hep B from monkeys, and you have to have a fedral lic. to own one because of this reason.
I would think, but I do not know for sure, most any thing they catch. I say this because aren’t they used for experiments for human diseases? I am sure you would have to vaccinate them just like you would any pet? Surely you would?
monkeys arnt pets they need there jungle enviroment to survive keeping them in a house would be cruel they cant adapt to our enviroment and eat our food they just cant live a happy healthy life with humans they need to be around other monkeys to survive …in the wild not in a house keeping one would be cruel, there not like cats and dogs
Just a bit of info. I was recently talking to a professional wild animal handler, and he said that monkeys make terrible pets. They can be destructive and just plain dangerous. So be aware of that. And he raises and cares for several monkeys as well as snakes (pythons and cobras), a hyena, and other wild animals. Just saying.
