I've heard they frequently carry Shigella and all sorts of other germs which can be rather unpleasant to humans. Simian Foamy Virus infections ,although less symptomatic, can be quite persistent. Monkeys can also carry without symptoms less common but fatal diseases like Herpes B virus. I've wondered if this is one of the reasons that travelers are so emphatically told not to touch the monkeys in countries where they wander free in tourist areas.
