U.S., Aug. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07097480) titled 'Virus Transmission to People Recently Bitten or With a History of Monkey Bites "SIMVIR' on July 25.
Brief Summary: Nonhuman primates (NHPs) constitute an important reservoir of infectious agents, some of which have emerged in human populations as deadly pathogens. Human exposure to the biological fluids of NHPs - particularly through bites - can result in the transmission of several viruses. Only the rabies virus is currently targeted by post-exposure prophylaxis following an injury caused by an NHP.
The objective of the study is to investigate the prevalence of STLV-1 and SFV infections following a nonhuman primate bite.
