Abstract: Few studies have compared the seroprevalence of antileptospiral agglutinins with the demonstration of urinary shedding of leptospires or evidence of active infection in the bloodstreams of non-human primates. The study population consists of 58 animals, including d 42 monkeys from the Zoological Park of Salvador (Parque Zoobotânico Getúlio Vargas), Bahia, Brazil. The study also evaluated 16 primates (Cebus sp.) rescued from illegal trade that were housed in the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Salvador (CETAS… Show more

“…Serological surveys carried out in non‐human primates at different Brazilian regions such as Rio Grande do Sul, Acre, Sergipe, Bahia, São Paulo, and Tocantins states 8,10–14 examined free‐living and captive zoo animals. All of them were sera reactive against different Leptospira spp.…”

“…According to Almeida et al. (2016), primates extracted from the wild may experience less exposure in captivity resulting in a progressive decrease in the number of antibodies against Leptospira over time. Additional factors that could explain variation in exposure include population age structure or density, and environmental factors such as climate and shared water resources (Turner, 1967).…”

“…Naturally acquired acute leptospirosis in free‐raging non‐human primates (NHPs) is infrequently documented (Szonyi et al., 2011); however, mild or severe clinical presentations in captivity have been reported (Perolat et al., 1992; Reid et al., 1993; Szonyi et al., 2011). Since NHPs are widely distributed in the Peruvian Amazon (Bennett et al., 2001), and they are frequently extracted from the wild into the illegal pet trade, they may represent a potential source of human leptospirosis infections (Almeida et al., 2016; Shanee et al., 2015).…”

“…Although some investigations were carried out on animals kept in captivity, other studies performed on free-ranging monkeys indicated an interesting prevalence of Leptospira infection [ 135 ]. The infections occurring in several primate species were mainly caused by strain of L. interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae and L. borgpetersenii serogroup Ballum, serologically detected [ 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 , 144 ]. The serological results were confirmed with Leptospira isolation in only two cases ( Table 1 ).…”
