Scientists track 'Spillover' of monkey virus to hunters
NCT ID NCT03225794
Summary
This study aims to understand the first steps of how viruses jump from animals to people. Researchers are observing hunters and villagers in Cameroon who have frequent contact with wild monkeys to see if they have been infected with a monkey virus called simian foamy virus. The goal is to learn how such viruses start to spread in humans, which could help predict and prevent future disease outbreaks.
