Abstract

A sooty mangabey monkey (Cercocebus atys) was inoculated with Mycobacterium leprae and developed borderline lepromatous leprosy and intraneural erythema nodosum leprosum. Previously studied mangabeys have developed only disseminated lepromatous leprosy without reactions. This case broadens the spectrum of leprosy seen in experimentally inoculated animals and further characterizes the nonhuman primate model of leprosy.

摘要

一只黑猩猩（Cercocebus atys）接种了麻风分枝杆菌，患上了界线类偏瘤型麻风病和神经内结节性红斑麻风。之前研究的黑猩猩只患上了播散性瘤型麻风病，没有出现反应。这个病例拓宽了在实验接种动物中观察到的麻风病谱，并进一步明确了麻风病的非人灵长类动物模型。
