  • Title: Disseminated nocardiosis in three macaque monkeys.
    Author: Liebenberg SP, Giddens WE.
    Journal: Lab Anim Sci; 1985 Apr; 35(2):162-6. PubMed ID: 3999700.
    Abstract:
    Extrapulmonary nocardiosis was diagnosed at necropsy in two rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and one pigtailed monkey (M. nemestrina) over a four-year period in a large primate center. Typical lesions were multiple pyogranulomatous foci in the liver, intestines, peritoneum, lung and brain. Partially acid-fast, branching, filamentous organisms were seen in all lesions. Nocardia sp. was isolated from two cases. We postulate that two of the monkeys were infected by the oral route because of the distribution of lesions.
