“…The present results corroborates with previous studies in French Guiana, 16 Mexico, 11 the Caribbean, 10 and Brazil, 12,13,17,18 from which widespread T. gondii infection among primates was reported, especially among primates in captivity. A retrospective study in the southern Brazil pointed toxoplasmosis as the main infectious disease responsible for death in monkeys from different origins.…”

“…High percentages were also found in Paraná (13 of 43; 30.2%) (GARCIA et al, 2005), São Paulo (3 of 5; 60%) (SANCHIS et al, 1972), and Mato Grosso do Sul (4 of 13; 30.8%) (LEITE et al, 2008). However, in an ecological station in São Paulo, only 3 of 36 (8.33%) capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella) were Immunohistochemical and serological aspects of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Neotropical primates seroreactive (SILVA et al, 2013b); however, unlike the UPF's Zoo primates, these were free-living.…”

Toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by the intracellular coccidian Toxoplasma gondii that infects most warm-blooded vertebrates, is widely distributed and fatal for primates, which are peculiarly susceptible for unknown reason(s). Owing to the increasing number of Neotropical mammal deaths where in T. gondii were detected in analyzed tissues, the present immunohistochemical study analyzed the distribution patterns of immunostainings related to this parasite on primates necropsied at the Laboratório de Patologia Animal of Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF), between the years of 2000 and 2014. Furthermore, a serological survey for the disease was conducted for 21 primates from the UPF Zoo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, belonging to genera Sapajus and Alouatta. In a immunohistochemical test performed using streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase, 26.53% positivity was detected in 98 primates. Immunostainings revealed that infection differed among the lung (76.92%), liver (58.33%), heart (50%), brain (42.30%), and kidney (23.07%) tissues. Serology performed through indirect hemagglutination showed reactivity in 85.7% of the animals, all belonging to Sapajus sp., while the three primates that did not show reactivity (14.3%) belonged to Alouatta sp.

“…The serological response against T. gondii was well demonstrated in the Cebidae family, 2,4,[17][18][19][20] indicating a specific immune response instead of clinical disease. A reported outbreak demonstrated that seven howler monkeys died from an acute evolution.…”

Subacute multisystemic toxoplasmosis in a captive black‐and‐gold howler monkey (Alouatta caraya) indicates therapy challenging

A 10-year-old black howler monkey presented with a 36-day subacute clinicopathological picture of fever, prostration, inappetence, intestinal hypomotility, and emaciation. Therapy was trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with streptomycin. The liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and spleen presented lesions. Toxoplasma gondii isolation and PCR determined the diagnosis, and indirect fluorescent antibody tests confirmed an increase in antibody titers.
