Epididymo-orchitis is characterized by painful swelling and inflammation of the epididymis and testes. A 4-year-old male rhesus monkey has clinical manifestations including anorexia, weakness, as well as redness and swelling of the right testis and epididymis. Bacterial culture of the urine was positive for Escherichia coli. Due to the antibiotic treatment being ineffective, the animal underwent a right orchiectomy. Postoperative histopathology confirmed necrosis and significant inflammatory cell infiltration, indicating severe acute epididymo-orchitis (EO) caused by E. coli infection in the rhesus monkey. After surgical treatment and postoperative care, the animal survived. To our knowledge, this represents the first report of acute EO caused by E. coli in a rhesus monkey. These findings not only enhance our understanding of EO in NHPs but also provide a reference for further biomedical studies of EO induced by E. coli.

Background
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite with a great impact on the health of Neotropical primates (NP). The aim of this study was to compare the agreement between the immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and the modified agglutination test (MAT) to detect IgG anti-T. gondii antibodies in NP.
Methods
Convenience serum samples of 77 animals were tested by IFAT and MAT according to standard protocols, and the agreement between results was analyzed using McNemar's χ2 test.
Results
The samples included 30 red-handed howlers (Alouatta belzebul), 24 brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba), 22 capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus), and one wedge-capped capuchin (Cebus olivaceous). Overall prevalence was 25.9% (n = 20), with three animals positive by IFAT and 20 positives by MAT. The agreement between tests was low (Kappa = 0.21).
Conclusion
The results indicated that IFAT and MAT are not comparable to assess qualitatively anti-T. gondii IgG serum antibodies in the studied species.

Acute apathy, vomiting, fever, and polydipsia were associated with pneumonia, enteritis, and gastritis presenting fibrinoid vasculitis containing hyphae. The fungi were demonstrated molecularly, highlighting the spontaneous disease in primates.

A free-ranging capuchin monkey developed a synchronous biphasic pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare form of this tumor. Exophytic nodules were dispersed over the serosal surfaces, showing marked microscopical malignant features composed of both epithelioid and spindeloid neoplastic cells immunopositive for Pan-Cytokeratin, Cytokeratin 5/6, Vimentin, WT-1, and D2-40.

Morphological abnormalities are rarely reported in night monkeys; in particular, eye problems in wild individuals are relatively rare in the literature. We present for the first time a record of corneal opacity in two wild individuals of the species Aotus lemurinus in the Andean region of Colombia. In this study, we found cases of corneal opacity probably associated with infectious and contagious processes, injuries resulting from attacks, the age of the individuals, and the health status of the groups in wildlife. We encourage researchers to report their observations of wild primates with ocular abnormalities, as this information could be useful in estimating rates of occurrence and addressing questions associated with the physiological status, social behavior of the species, and their effects on natural populations.

Non-human primate (NHPs) conservation sites could be sites of exchange of pathogens involved in infectious diseases. It is important to assess the potential risks associated with this type of structure. The objective of this study was to carry out a risk assessment of the Primatology Centre housed in the Interdisciplinary Centre for Medical Research of Franceville (CIRMF).
Methods
A questionnaire was administered to the centre's staff to assess the risk associated with each workstation, followed by a review of the various pathogens identified in NHPs. The data were analysed using two diagrams: the Kiviat diagram and the Pareto diagram.
Results
Based on our results, a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, potentially transmissible to humans, were described in the NHPs at the Primatology Centre of CIRMF. The position most exposed to zoonotic risks was that of animal handlers.
Conclusion
The Primatology Centre of CIRMF is a potential transfer site for the transfer of zoonotic agents. To avoid the risk of parasite exchange between staff and animals, the implementation of biosecurity measures is essential.

Background
Radiographs are useful for the initial evaluation of the hip joints. The information can be utilized for the betterment of animal health or other goals such as anatomic studies and gait analysis, among others. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate radiographic measurements of the hip joint in capuchin monkeys, kept under human care at a reference center for wildlife.
Methods
Twelve capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) (three adult males, seven adult females, and two sub-adult females) were evaluated. Ventrodorsal radiographic views were taken under chemical restraint. All measurements on the digital images were performed in triplicate by one examiner.
Results and Conclusions
None of the measurements evaluated were statistically different between males and females. No statistical differences were found between hind limbs. The mean (±SD) Norberg angle was 104.92° (±2.82°) and the Wiberg angle was 15.26° (±1.86°). The percentage of the femoral head covered by the acetabulum was 68.57% (±3.65%) and the acetabular index depth to width ratio was 54.66% (±3.85%). In conclusion, the radiographic measurements showed certain morphological features of the hip joint in Sapajus spp. that contribute to improving species knowledge.

No statistical differences were found between hind limbs. The mean (±SD) Norberg angle was 104.92° (±2.82°) and the Wiberg angle was 15.26° (±1.86°). The percentage of the femoral head covered by the acetabulum was 68.57% (±3.65%) and the acetabular index depth to width ratio was 54.66% (±3.85%). In conclusion, the radiographic measurements showed certain morphological features of the hip joint in <i>Sapajus</i> spp. that contribute to improving species knowledge.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Primatology","volume":"53 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142365474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bertiella studeri, a typical intestinal cestode of nonhuman primates, accidentally infects human beings. However, B. studeri infection in monkeys has been rarely reported in recent years. A case of B. studeri infection was identified in one captive rhesus macaque with natural infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study contributes to alerting the public of this helmintic zoonosis, though its infection rate is quite lower in recent years.
Bertiella studeri是一种典型的非人灵长类动物肠道绦虫，可意外感染人类。然而，近年来很少有猴子感染 B. studeri 的报道。在一只自然感染结核分枝杆菌的人工饲养猕猴身上发现了一例 B. studeri 感染病例。这项研究有助于提高公众对这种螺旋体人畜共患病的警惕性，尽管近年来其感染率相当低。
