In an episode of tularemia in a Canadian zoologic garden, three black and red tamarins (Sanguinus nigricollis) and one talapoin (Cercopithecus talapoin) died. A second talapoin developed abscesses in the tongue and submandibular area; this animal recovered with treatment. Francisella tularensis was isolated from lung, liver, and spleen from each dead monkey and from pus collected from the tongue abscess of the sick talapoin. The attending veterinarian contracted the disease from a tamarin bite. The source of the disease was identified as wild ground squirrels, and the causative organism was recovered from the liver and spleen of one squirrel and from fleas found on it.
在加拿大一家动物园发生的兔热病疫情中，三只黑红柽柳猴（赤颈柽柳猴）和一只赤猴死亡。另一只赤猴在舌头和下颌下区域出现脓肿；这只动物经治疗后康复。从每只死亡猴子的肺、肝和脾以及从患病赤猴舌头脓肿中采集的脓液中分离出了土拉弗朗西斯菌。主治兽医因被一只柽柳猴咬伤而感染了这种疾病。该病的源头被确定为野生地松鼠，并且从一只松鼠的肝和脾以及在其身上发现的跳蚤中分离出了致病生物。
