Retrospective examination of lungs from 128 monkey necropsies was attempted for Pneumocystis infection using special strains, including toluidine blue-O and Gomori's methenamine silver nitrate. Four Japanese monkeys (7.7%), Macaca fuscata fuscata, and one crab-eating monkey (7.7%), Macaca fascicularis, were found to have Pneumocystis infection. The organism was found in young and infant animals. At the time of death, one infant and two young monkeys were debilitated and/or emaciated. Pneumocystis infection was considered an important lesion which could have caused reduced respiratory function in two of the Japanese monkeys, but constituted only an incidental finding in the others.
对128只猴子尸检的肺部进行回顾性检查，尝试使用特殊染色方法，包括甲苯胺蓝-O和戈莫里六胺银染色，检测肺孢子虫感染情况。发现4只日本猕猴（7.7%），即食蟹猕猴指名亚种，以及1只食蟹猴（7.7%），即食蟹猕猴，感染了肺孢子虫。在幼年和婴儿期动物中发现了这种病原体。死亡时，1只婴儿期和2只幼年猴子身体虚弱和/或消瘦。肺孢子虫感染被认为是一个重要病变，可能导致了2只日本猕猴呼吸功能下降，但在其他猴子中仅为偶然发现。
