Primate Health and Disease Ecology
Primate health and disease ecology is the study of how primate health, particularly their susceptibility to infectious diseases, is impacted by their social, ecological and behavioral systems. This field seeks to understand how primates interact with their environment, including interactions with humans and other species, to improve their health. By understanding how primate health is affected by their environment, researchers can develop better strategies to prevent and manage diseases, reduce human-primate conflict, and protect primate populations around the world. Primate health and disease ecology has direct implications for the global conservation of primates, as well as for the health of human communities that share the same environment as primates.
