Terminal leptospirosis in a woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha) in Colombia

Show other versions (1)

A captive woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha) displayed severe lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. Laboratory tests revealed anemia, leukopenia, hypoproteinemia, severe azotemia and positive Leptospira IgM ELISA. The monkey was humanely euthanized and the necropsy revealed a multifocal tubulointersti...
