Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
COVID-19 is an infectious respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which led to a global pandemic in 2020 and has since transitioned into an endemic phase. It spreads primarily through airborne particles and respiratory droplets, causing symptoms like fever, cough, fatigue, and loss of taste/smell. Vaccination and hygiene measures remain key to prevention.
Coronavirus Threat to Great Apes
Coronavirus poses a critical, potentially fatal threat to endangered great apes (gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans) due to their high genetic similarity to humans, making them susceptible to human respiratory pathogens. As of early 2021, captive gorillas in San Diego tested positive for COVID-19, confirming the risk. Conservationists have implemented strict measures.
