Summary
Infectious diseases are a worrisome threat to endangered great apes. Among the Taï chimpanzee communities, both naturally occurring and human-introduced diseases have been responsible for population declines in the past 40 years. The establishment of a long-term health monitoring programme as an integral part of the habituation project has allowed for unprecedented insights on such happenings. Mortality events took place both in an extremely rapid manner, as observed during Ebola and human pneumovirus outbreaks, or in a long but persistent fashion, as observed with sylvatic anthrax. The evidence gathered provides information on which diseases are naturally circulating in this rainforest and lays the groundwork for the development of One Health strategies to improve both great ape and human health.
