摘要：

An epidemic of acute, disseminated toxoplasmosis caused 30 per cent mortality and an apparent 100 per cent morbidity in a captive colony of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). The source of the infection could not be elucidated. Although most deaths were due to pulmonary oedema, one monkey probably died of heart and liver failure. These findings support the view that New World monkeys are unusually sensitive to Toxoplasma gondii infection. The similarity of the disease in these monkeys with that in immunocompromised human beings is an observation worthy of further investigation. © 1992.
