    They can and it is the reason for the precautionary recall. Salmonella bacteria in the digestive tract of primates can cause gastrointestinal disease which leads to diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Stress is usually a precipitator of a severe infection, which can eventually lead to prolapse of the rectum. It is rare that primates transmit this type of infection to humans.
