Spontaneous lesions in chimpanzees have been described according to the organ system involved. These lesions have been reported in the literature or noted in chimpanzees at the 6571st Aeromedicai Research Laboratory (ARL), Holloman AFB, N. Mex., over a 15-year period. Some of the lesions seen at the ARL were the result of overt clinical disease, while others represent incidental findings, the significance and genesis of which were often obscure. Conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract, especially parasitic diseases, have been and continue to be of the highest frequency, with disorders involving the cardiovascular system next. Infectious diseases have been infrequent, especially in the stabilized colony, and neoplastic conditions have not been seen.

“…Glomerulonephritis has been well documented in chimpanzees and other non‐human primates; however, this is the first report of pauci‐immune‐type RPGN in a non‐human species. After identifying the renal lesions in this case, all deceased chimpanzees with any form of renal pathology were identified for microscopic reevaluation for the presence of crescents.…”

“…Except for a few short surveys of lesions and causes of mortality, an extensive documentation of chimpanzee lesions is lacking. Most of the published studies are in the form of case series that include pathology findings related to body systems (central nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, and integumentary), etiologies (parasitic, degenerative, and neoplastic), and individual case reports . An extensive survey of the pathological lesions is lacking in literature.…”

Background We present the spontaneous pathological lesions identified as a result of necropsy or biopsy for 245 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) over a 35-year period. Methods A review of the pathology database was performed for all diagnoses on chimpanzees from 1980 to 2014. All morphologic diagnoses, associated system, organ, etiology, and demographic information were reviewed and analyzed. Results Cardiomyopathy was the most frequent lesion observed followed by hemosiderosis, hyperplasia, nematodiasis, edema, and hemorrhage. The most frequently affected systems were the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, urogenital, respiratory, and lymphatic/hematopoietic systems. The most common etiology was undetermined, followed by degenerative, physiologic, neoplastic, parasitic, and bacterial. Conclusions Perinatal and infant animals were mostly affected by physiologic etiologies and chimpanzee-induced trauma. Bacterial and physiologic etiologies were more common in juvenile animals. Degenerative and physiologic (and neoplastic in geriatric animals) etiologies predominated in adult, middle aged, and geriatric chimpanzees.
