Four of five golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia) died after a brief period of illness 13 to 21 days following the consumption of a feral mouse by the group. Three of the four animals died within hours after being observed as clinically healthy. The fourth animal became weak, failed to respond to treatment, and died several hours after treatment. At necropsy, there were bands of serosal and mucosal hemorrhages of the intestines, and the lungs were mottled. Histologically, necrosis and acute inflammation associated with tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii were found in intestines, liver, heart, lung, and eyes. The communally consumed mouse was presumed to be the source of T. gondii infection in this exhibit. The surviving tamarin probably did not share food.
在一群金狮狨猴（Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia）食用了一只野生小鼠后的13至21天，经历短暂患病期后，五只中有四只死亡。四只动物中有三只在被观察为临床健康数小时内死亡。第四只动物变得虚弱，对治疗无反应，并在治疗数小时后死亡。尸检时，肠道出现浆膜和黏膜出血带，肺部有斑点。组织学检查发现，在肠道、肝脏、心脏、肺和眼睛中存在与刚地弓形虫速殖子相关的坏死和急性炎症。据推测，这群猴子共同食用的小鼠是此次展览中弓形虫感染的来源。幸存的狨猴可能没有分享食物。
