We conducted a serologic and molecular study to assess exposure of captive nonhuman primates (NHPs) to SARS-CoV-2 in Spain during the 2020-2023 COVID-19 pandemic. We found limited exposure of NHPs to SARS-CoV-2. Biosafety measures must be strictly maintained to avoid SARS-CoV-2 reverse-zoonotic transmission in the human-NHP interface.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS; SARS-CoV-2; Spain; coronavirus; coronavirus disease; nonhuman primates; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; zoonoses.
