Horrific venereal disease strikes African baboons

A horrific venereal disease is preying on baboons in eastern Africa. An estimated 200 animals have been infected and scientists are scrambling to identify the mystery microbe that is attacking them.
The disease targets the reproductive organs of the primate. The consequences for male baboons are particularly gruesome, says Elibariki Mtui, of the African Wildlife Foundation in Arusha, Tanzania. "The genitals kind of rot away, then they just drop off," he told New Scientist.
The disease first appeared a month ago and while cases seem to be confined to Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania, there are fears it will spread from the affected troops of olive baboons to others nearby. "People are really concerned that it could be an epidemic," says Mtui. Wardens at the park confirm that some of the infected males had died.
"If it's sexually transmitted then it could spread," agrees Dee Carey, head veterinarian at the Southwest National Primate Research Centre in San Antonio, Texas. Baboons live in troops of up to 100 animals and although the females stay put within each "family", the males wander between them. But with so little information on the disease, says Carey, it is difficult to evaluate the risks.
Now imagine if it passed over to humans!
It's a legit excuse to fuck anything that moves before the end comes (or not as the case may be).
BANZAI!

This sounds male only. If so, then a person would have to get screwed by a monkey first. I think.

It's not just people fucking monkeys. The practice of eating the brains of freshly killed monkeys is also a serious disease-spreader.
That is just horrific. As if there aren't already enough things in this world that can make your dick shrivel up and fall off, like Janeway porn.
