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.

Zusammenfassung: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.
