Abstract

Background

Non-human primate (NHPs) conservation sites could be sites of exchange of pathogens involved in infectious diseases. It is important to assess the potential risks associated with this type of structure. The objective of this study was to carry out a risk assessment of the Primatology Centre housed in the Interdisciplinary Centre for Medical Research of Franceville (CIRMF).

Methods

A questionnaire was administered to the centre's staff to assess the risk associated with each workstation, followed by a review of the various pathogens identified in NHPs. The data were analysed using two diagrams: the Kiviat diagram and the Pareto diagram.

Results

Based on our results, a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, potentially transmissible to humans, were described in the NHPs at the Primatology Centre of CIRMF. The position most exposed to zoonotic risks was that of animal handlers.

Conclusion

The Primatology Centre of CIRMF is a potential transfer site for the transfer of zoonotic agents. To avoid the risk of parasite exchange between staff and animals, the implementation of biosecurity measures is essential.

加蓬弗朗斯维尔跨学科医学研究中心灵长类动物中心人畜共患病感染风险评估

背景非人灵长类动物（NHPs）保护地可能是传染病病原体的交换场所。因此，对这类场所的潜在风险进行评估非常重要。本研究的目的是对设在法兰斯维尔跨学科医学研究中心（CIRMF）内的灵长类动物中心进行风险评估。方法对该中心的工作人员进行问卷调查，以评估每个工作站的相关风险，然后对在非活体动物中发现的各种病原体进行审查。使用两种图表对数据进行分析：基维亚图和帕累托图。结果根据我们的研究结果，CIRMF灵长类动物中心的非人类水貂体内存在多种病原体，如病毒、细菌和寄生虫，这些病原体有可能传播给人类。人畜共患病风险最大的岗位是动物饲养员。结论：CIRMF灵长类动物中心是人畜共患病病原体传播的潜在场所。为避免工作人员与动物之间交换寄生虫的风险，必须采取生物安全措施。
