Leishmanial forms of Trypanosoma cruzi with multifocal pseudocysts were identified in a deceased adult female rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) that had been maintained in an outdoor primate colony in southern Texas. Subsequent clinical investigation of the remainder of the colony identified 20 additional monkeys seropositive for T cruzi. Concurrent epizootiologic surveys confirmed the presence of sylvatic reservoirs and triatomine vectors of T cruzi infection and identified a natural T cruzi transmission cycle. Veterinarians associated with the research colony were informed of the potential for further T cruzi transmission and appropriate insect vector and reservoir animal control programs were implemented..
在一只死于得克萨斯州南部户外灵长类动物群落的成年雌性恒河猴（猕猴）体内，发现了带有多灶性假囊肿的克氏锥虫利什曼原虫形态。随后对群落中其余猴子的临床调查发现，又有20只猴子的克氏锥虫血清呈阳性。同时进行的流行病学调查证实存在克氏锥虫感染的野生宿主和锥蝽媒介，并确定了一个自然的克氏锥虫传播循环。与该研究群落相关的兽医被告知存在克氏锥虫进一步传播的可能性，并实施了适当的昆虫媒介和宿主动物控制计划。
