Non-Human Primate Health

Non-human primate health involves the well-being of species such as monkeys and apes, focusing on disease prevention, medical care, and habitat management. These animals are susceptible to many of the same illnesses as humans, including infections, parasites, and injuries. Maintaining their health requires regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, proper nutrition, and habitat cleanliness. Monitoring their behavior and physical condition helps detect health issues early. Protecting primate health is essential for conservation efforts, research integrity, and ensuring ethical treatment. Overall, it involves a combination of medical, environmental, and behavioral management practices to promote their thriving in both wild and captive settings.
