===Disease transmission=== Close interactions between humans and non-human primates (NHPs) can create pathways for the transmission of [[Zoonosis|zoonotic diseases]]. Viruses such as ''[[Herpesviridae]]'' (most notably [[Herpes B Virus]]), ''[[Poxviridae]]'', [[measles]], [[ebola]], [[rabies]], the [[Marburg virus]] and [[viral hepatitis]] can be transmitted to humans; in some cases the viruses produce potentially fatal diseases in both humans and non-human primates.<ref name="Renquist1987">{{cite journal |author1=Renquist, D.
