    Abstract:

    Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are susceptible hosts of tuberculosis (TB). After infection, TB not only spreads among monkey populations but can also spread to humans. An effective vaccine to protect NHPs from TB has not been developed. Although prevention and control protocols have matured and reduced the incidence of TB among NHPs in captivity, outbreaks continue to occur. This article summarizes the worldwide epidemiological situation of TB in monkeys in captivity and in the wild, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of commonly used detection method, and summarizes the most common practices of TB prevention and control in NHPs. Our findings indicate that TB poses a great threat to NHPs, underscoring the importance of raising awareness of TB among NHP breeding workers and managers. Additionally,our result provide a basis for improving current management procedures and offer valuable insights for TB diagnosis,prevention, and control in NHPs in China.
