A spontaneous outbreak of yersiniosis caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype IIB occurred in a small indoor breeding colony of red-bellied tamarins (Saguinus labiatus) during the winter of 1981. Of 35 monkeys at risk 6 died of an acute or subacute infection over a period of 23 days. Clinical signs were anorexia, weakness, listlessness and depression. The disease was characterized by focal necrosis of the liver, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes, ulcerative enteritis, and the presence of colonies of Gram-negative bacilli in the lesions. Y. pseudotuberculosis was isolated from the liver, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes and kidney but not from the blood, lung or intestine. Contaminated food was believed to be the source of infection.
1981年冬季，一个室内小型赤腹绢猴（Saguinus labiatus）饲养群体中自发爆发了由IIB型假结核耶尔森菌引起的耶尔森菌病。在35只处于危险中的猴子中，有6只在23天内死于急性或亚急性感染。临床症状为厌食、虚弱、无精打采和抑郁。该病的特征是肝脏、脾脏、肠系膜淋巴结出现局灶性坏死、溃疡性肠炎以及病变部位存在革兰氏阴性杆菌菌落。从肝脏、脾脏、肠系膜淋巴结和肾脏中分离出了假结核耶尔森菌，但血液、肺或肠道中未分离到。受污染的食物被认为是感染源。
