Abstract
Chikungunya Virus in Macaques, Malaysia.
Highlights
Through the bordering state of Pernambuco [4,5,9]
The most common macaque species in Peninsular Malaysia is the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis); an estimated population of >130,000 monkeys live in human-populated areas [3]
A variety of domestic and wild vertebrates, including horses, cattle, pigs, rats, squirrels, bats, and chickens, have been reported to be seropositive for chikungunya virus (CHIKV) [2,6,7,8]. These results indicate that CHIKV infects long-tailed macaques in Malaysia, but seroprevalence rates are low, and there is little evidence of viremia, except at the 1 specific site in Kuala Lipis
Summary
Through the bordering state of Pernambuco [4,5,9]. Cases were concentrated in Fortaleza and the northwest region of the state. The most common macaque species in Peninsular Malaysia is the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis); an estimated population of >130,000 monkeys live in human-populated areas [3]. We determined the potential role of long-tailed macaques in conflict with humans as a reservoir of CHIKV in Malaysia.
