  abstract = {{M}ost of the human pandemics reported to date can be classified as zoonoses. {A}mong these, there is a long history of infectious diseases that have spread from non-human primates ({NHP}) to humans. {F}or millennia, indigenous groups that depend on wildlife for their survival were exposed to the risk of {NHP} pathogens' transmission through animal hunting and wild meat consumption. {U}sually, exposure is of no consequence or is limited to mild infections. {I}n rare situations, it can be more severe or even become a real public health concern. {S}ince the emergence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome ({AIDS}), nobody can ignore that an emerging infectious diseases ({EID}) might spread from {NHP} into the human population. {I}n large parts of {C}entral {A}frica and {A}sia, wildlife remains the primary source of meat and income for millions of people living in rural areas. {H}owever, in the past few decades the risk of exposure to an {NHP} pathogen has taken on a new dimension. {U}nprecedented breaking down of natural barriers between {NHP} and humans has increased exposure to health risks for a much larger population, including people living in urban areas. {T}here are several reasons for this: (i) due to road development and massive destruction of ecosystems for agricultural needs, wildlife and humans come into contact more frequently; (ii) due to ecological awareness, many long distance travelers are in search of wildlife discovery, with a particular fascination for {A}frican great apes; (iii) due to the attraction for ancient temples and mystical practices, others travelers visit {A}sian places colonized by {NHP}. {I}n each case, there is a risk of pathogen transmission through a bite or another route of infection. {B}eside the individual risk of contracting a pathogen, there is also the possibility of starting a new pandemic. {T}his article reviews the known cases of {NHP} pathogens' transmission to humans whether they are hunters, travelers, ecotourists, veterinarians, or scientists working on {NHP}. {A}lthough pathogen transmission is supposed to be a rare outcome, {R}abies virus, {H}erpes {B} virus, {M}onkeypox virus, {E}bola virus, or {Y}ellow fever virus infections are of greater concern and require quick countermeasures from public health professionals.},
