Intraocular granulomas associated with tuberculosis in primates.

C S West, S J Vainisi, C M Vygantas

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |December 1, 1981

    Summary

    Tuberculosis (TB) in non-human primates can manifest as intraocular granulomas. Early detection and diagnostics are crucial for managing TB in primate colonies due to public health risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Primate Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant threat to non-human primate health and welfare.
    • Systemic dissemination of Mycobacterium species can occur without overt clinical signs.

    Observation:

    • Intraocular granulomas were identified in two primate species: Geoffroy's spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) and rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta).
    • These granulomas were associated with tuberculous infections.

    Findings:

    • Bacterial cultures confirmed Mycobacterium bovis in the lung tissue of Ateles geoffroyi.
    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified in the lung tissue of Macaca mulatta.

    Implications:

    • The study highlights the importance of vigilant observation and diagnostic protocols in primate colonies.
