This study used infrared thermography (IRT) for mapping the facial and ocular temperatures of howler monkeys, to determine parameters for the diagnosis of febrile processes. There are no published IRT study in this species.
Were evaluated images of a group of monkeys kept under human care at Sorocaba Zoo (São Paulo, Brazil). The images were recorded during 1 year, in all seasons. Face and eye temperatures were evaluated.
There are statistically significant differences in face and eye temperatures. Mean values and standard deviations for facial and ocular temperature were respectively: 33.0°C (2.1) and 36.5°C (1.9) in the summer; 31.5°C (4.5) and 35.3°C (3.6) in the autumn; 30.0°C (4.3) and 35.6°C (3.9) in the winter; 30.8°C (2.9) and 35.5°C (2.1) in the spring.
The IRT was effective to establish a parameter for facial and ocular temperatures of black-and-gold howler monkeys kept under human care.
本研究使用红外热成像（IRT）来绘制吼猴的面部和眼部温度图，以确定发热过程诊断的参数。在该物种中没有发表过 IRT 研究。
评估了一组在索罗卡巴动物园（巴西圣保罗）被人类照顾的猴子的图像。这些图像是在一年中的所有季节记录的。评估了面部和眼部温度。
面部和眼部温度存在统计学上的显著差异。面部和眼部温度的平均值和标准差分别为：夏季 33.0°C（2.1）和 36.5°C（1.9）；秋季 31.5°C（4.5）和 35.3°C（3.6）；冬季 30.0°C（4.3）和 35.6°C（3.9）；春季 30.8°C（2.9）和 35.5°C（2.1）。
IRT 可有效确定在人类照顾下的黑黄吼猴的面部和眼部温度参数。
