Naturally occurring tuberculosis in a squirrel monkey and a cebus monkey.
Tuberculosis was detected in a Brazilian squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) and in a cebus monkey (Cebus apella). Both of these animals were housed in the same room with a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) subsequently found to be tuberculous. All 3 of the monkeys died within a 4-month period.
