The various species of marmosets are susceptible to a wide variety of infectious agents of which only a few have been fully characterized. Little is known concerning spontaneous disease in their natural habitat, and often deaths in the laboratory go unexplained. In captivity, Herpesvirus-T infection appears to be the most important viral infection, but serious disease may also follow infection with measles virus (rubeola) and an unidentified paramyxovirus. Bacterial diseases are multiple, but rarely occur as epizootics. Various species of Salmonella, Yersinia, Klebsiella, and Diplococcus are among the more frequent pathogens. Mycoses and parasitic infections are also numerous, but most do not result in major losses.
各种狨猴对多种感染因子敏感，其中只有少数已得到充分鉴定。关于它们在自然栖息地的自发性疾病知之甚少，而且实验室中的死亡情况往往无法解释。在圈养环境中，疱疹病毒-T感染似乎是最重要的病毒感染，但麻疹病毒（风疹）和一种未鉴定的副粘病毒感染也可能引发严重疾病。细菌性疾病多种多样，但很少以 epizootics 的形式发生。各种沙门氏菌、耶尔森氏菌、克雷伯氏菌和双球菌是较常见的病原体。真菌病和寄生虫感染也很多，但大多数不会造成重大损失。
