Geographic distribution of captive NHPs sampled in study of SARS-CoV-2 in Spain, 2020–2023. Serum and fecal samples were collected from different NHP species at 17 zoos and NHPs rescue centers (letters A–Q) in Spain during January 2020–March 2023. Inset indicates the specimens collected in the Canary Islands, Spain. Animal images indicate the families of NHPs examined. Blue image indicates the 2 gorillas that were SARS-CoV-2 seropositive. Circles show the total numbers of serum or fecal samples analyzed at each zoo or rescue center. Arrows indicate which NHP families underwent serum or fecal sample testing for SARS-CoV-2. NHP, nonhuman primate.
