Herpesvirus papio family of viruses and strains infect baboons. Their effects on humans are unknown.

Pathogens have a high likelihood of spreading through humans and species of nonhuman primates, such as baboons.

Humans are not the only primates to suffer from post-natal depression. In olive baboons low ranking mothers rank exhibited higher levels of abusive behaviour during the postpartum period.
The virus is transmitted horizontally and only known to cause disease in vertebrates. Different levels of virulence may be observed depending on the strain of orthoreovirus. Species that are known to become infected with the virus include: humans, birds, cattle, monkeys, sheep, swine, baboons, and bats [21]
For their study, the researchers filmed 10 olive baboons of varying ages, from infants to mature adults, including both males and females. ... and that we humans have just exploited that niche ...
