Plasmodium inui malaria is an infrequently reported disease of Macaca mulatta. In this report a total of 21 of 48 monkeys in a closed colony of diabetic animals developed hematological evidence of P. inui infection with five showing overt clinical signs of the disease. Diagnosis was confirmed morphologically, serologically and by transmission studies. Since six of these animals were born in the colony, a means of transmission was sought and it was determined that multiple use of a syringe to administer intravenous anesthesia was the probable means of cross transmission.
伊氏疟原虫疟疾是一种较少报道的恒河猴疾病。在本报告中,一个封闭的糖尿病动物群体中的48只猴子中有21只出现了伊氏疟原虫感染的血液学证据,其中5只表现出该疾病的明显临床症状。通过形态学、血清学和传播研究确诊。由于这些动物中有6只是在该群体中出生的,因此寻找了一种传播方式,确定多次使用注射器进行静脉麻醉可能是交叉传播的途径。
