The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has radically changed the human activities worldwide. Although we are still learning about the disease, it is necessary that primatologists, veterinarians, and all that are living with nonhuman primates (NHP) be concerned about the probable health impacts as these animals face this new pandemic. We want to increase discussion with the scientific community that is directly involved with these animals, because preliminary studies report that NHP may become infected and develop symptoms similar to those in human beings.

我们是否应该担心非人类灵长类动物身上的 COVID-19？

2019 年冠状病毒病大流行从根本上改变了全世界人类的活动。尽管我们仍在了解这种疾病，但灵长类动物学家、兽医以及所有与非人类灵长类动物 (NHP) 一起生活的人有必要担心这些动物面临这种新的流行病时可能对健康造成的影响。我们希望加强与直接涉及这些动物的科学界的讨论，因为初步研究表明NHP可能会被感染并出现与人类相似的症状。
