Listeriosis is a zoonotic infection with the gram positive, facultative intracellular bacterium Listeria (L.) monocytogenes. Infections mainly occur in ruminants, but also in other species, including humans. Case fatality rate usually is high. The incidence of listeriosis in captive non-human primates is very low. We report the first spontaneous, fatal, and likely food-born outbreak of listeriosis in a population of captive grey mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus). Conspicuously, none of the closely related Goodman's mouse lemurs (Microcebus lehilahytsara) in the same facility were affected.
李斯特菌病是由革兰氏阳性兼性胞内细菌单核细胞增生李斯特菌引起的一种人畜共患病感染。感染主要发生在反刍动物中，但也发生在包括人类在内的其他物种中。病死率通常很高。圈养非人灵长类动物中李斯特菌病的发病率非常低。我们报告了圈养灰鼠狐猴（Microcebus murinus）群体中首次发生的自发性、致命且可能由食物传播的李斯特菌病暴发。值得注意的是，同一设施中密切相关的古德曼鼠狐猴（Microcebus lehilahytsara）均未受到影响。
