title: [Infectious pathology of monkeys: a brief description, potential experimental research, safety for attendants at primate care facilities and laboratories].
abstract: Infectious diseases of monkeys, including the bacterial anthroponosous and zoogenous as well as viral infections, are described in the paper. A bulwark of research resulted from authors' independent long-term observations of monkey pathologies at Sukhumi and Adler primatological facilities. Pathologies are elucidated, which are better to be modeled in monkeys; there are also diseases that can be studied only in monkeys. Monkey agents were isolated, which are dangerous to humans attending the animals at primatological facilities and laboratories.
