Considering human-primate transmission of measles virus through the prism of risk analysis

A study investigates serological evidence of exposure to measles virus in two free-ranging populations of macaques at the Bukit Timah (BTNR) and Central Catchment Nature (CCNR) reserves in Singapore and the Swoyambhu Temple in Katmandu, Nepal. The contrasting seroprevalences of the two sites are analyzed using risk analysis, demonstrating how the process can be used to approach the phenomenon of cross-species pathogen transmission.
