There are many wildlife diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Listed
below is information on some of these diseases.
In most of the United States, it is against the law for you to own any wild animals or non-human primates (monkeys) without a permit. However, people sometimes come into contact with these animals. Like other animals, wild animals and primates can get diseases. Some of these diseases, called zoonoses, can cause illness in people. Since wild animals (including monkeys, raccoons, and skunks) can carry diseases that are dangerous to people, CDC discourages direct contact with wildlife.
Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services, LLC encourages you to learn more about selected diseases of wildlife, including primates. Visit us on the web at www.virginiaprofessionalwildliferemovalservices.com
