Bridging the Gap: Integrating Knowledge from the Study of Social Network Analysis and Infectious Disease Dynamics in Human and Nonhuman Primates.

Summary: Monkeys, apes, and humans all live in big, complex groups. The way we interact with each other can change how germs spread. Scientists use a tool called "social network analysis" to map out exactly who hangs out with whom. By looking at how diseases spread in both human and animal groups, we can learn a lot! This helps us protect wild animals and keep humans healthy, too.
