This could be very serious. A number of dead chimps(and other animals) have been found to have a new anthrax like disease. It is not just that it could spread and weaken the chimp population. A new disease is always a concern. We don't know yet what species will be affected or how serious it will be.

It is good that they monitor for emerging diseases. Remember, not so long ago, no one had ever heard of HIV or AIDS.
There is always a concern that a new illness could be as bad or worse.
