Public health
WHO primates, vaccines, and conservation
Open access · cc by · source: Europe PMC
The 1971 WHO primate report tied vaccine science to zoonotic risk, exporting-country blame, and captive breeding.
Key findings
Marburg and wild-primate trade forced the WHO to treat animal health as public health. Hazardous primates were located in exporting countries. Captive breeding was sold as better animals and a way to keep imports until colonies existed.
Methodology
The article reconstructs Technical Report 470 and the Berne symposium, reading WHO drafts, stakeholder replies, and IUCN conservation talk.
Limitations
This is a history of WHO technical politics, not a virology paper or a census of today’s primate trade.
