“…It is anecdotally understood that the dermatologic presentation most commonly encountered by the NHP veterinarian is the opportunistic secondary bacterial skin infection associated most commonly with fight wounds and trauma, but also with environmental causes and immunodeficient states 1,2 . Clinical disease can result from overgrowth of normal skin flora ( Staphylococcus and Streptococcus ) or introduction of nonresident pathogens 1 . Lesions range from superficial impetigo and moist pyoderma to deeper cutaneous and subcutaneous infections with the possibility of extensive cellulitis and draining tracts 1,2,14–16 .…”

Lesions range from superficial impetigo and moist pyoderma to deeper cutaneous and subcutaneous infections with the possibility of extensive cellulitis and draining tracts 1,2,14–16 . Most routine cutaneous bacterial infections in an NHP facility are managed with appropriate wound care (debridement, closure or second‐intention healing) and antibiotics.…”

“…Opportunistic bacterial infection from trauma (iatrogenic or bite wound) is widely recognized by NHP veterinarians as the most common dermatologic presentation, 1,2 although there is no body of literature specifically addressing this. In support of this review, an analysis of skin cultures performed in 2005 by one of the authors (P. Didier) yielded 61 bacterial isolates.…”

“…Streptococcus pyogenes and other species have been isolated in numerous skin infections, including an impetigo‐like moist pyoderma of nursery reared macaques attributed to the moist environment of incubators. This is a condition that readily responds to appropriate antibiotics and environmental changes 1 …”

In general, veterinary dermatologists do not have extensive clinical experience of nonhuman primate (NHP) dermatoses. The bulk of the published literature does not provide an organized evidence-based approach to the NHP dermatologic case. The veterinary dermatologist is left to extract information from both human and veterinary dermatology, an approach that can be problematic as it forces the clinician to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions based on two very disparate bodies of literature. A more cohesive approach to NHP dermatology – without relying on assumptions that NHP pathology most commonly behaves similarly to other veterinary and human disease – is required. This review of the dermatology of NHP species includes discussions of primary dermatoses, as well as diseases where dermatologic signs represent a significant secondary component, provides a first step towards encouraging the veterinary community to study and report the dermatologic diseases of nonhuman primates.

Background Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a neoplastic proliferation of epithelial cells undergoing squamous differentiation and represents a diagnostic challenge in nonhuman primates (NHP), especially in baboons with perineal SCC. Methods Fourteen SCC (13 baboons, 1 spider monkey) were identified over a 20-year period. A literature search identified 86 additional published cases of spontaneous NHP SCC. Results SCC was most commonly reported in macaques, baboons, marmosets, and squirrel monkeys. Metastasis occurred in 23%, of NHP. The most frequently reported primary locations were the oral cavity, integument, esophagus, and cervix-uterus. Perineal SCC occurred mainly in baboons. All reported SCC in marmosets occurred in the head. Nasal cavity SCC was only reported in male marmosets. All reported pulmonary SCC occurred in males, mostly in tree shrews. Conclusions SCC is a common neoplasm in NHP and exhibits species differences. NHPs may provide a useful SCC animal model.
