Monkeys. Herpes. Florida. Your move, humans.

Soon to be a problem.

[QUOTE]They have a herpes virus that can be fatal to humans. They are randy. And their population could double by 2022.

“They” are a group of about 200 feral monkeys — rhesus macaques, to be exact — in Silver Springs State Park in central Florida’s Marion County. There is also a colony of these monkeys in Puerto Rico.

According to a 2018 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers found that these rhesus macaques can shed the herpes B virus, known as macacine herpes virus 1 or McHV-1, and this puts “humans at risk for exposure to this potentially fatal pathogen.”[/QUOTE]
