“…According to the literature, the main clinical features are regular alopecia with erythema and scaling, usually non-pruritic; although, various degrees of infection may modify this typical aspect. Lesions may be localized, generalized or multifocal (MIGAKI, 1986;CHERMETTE, 2008;BERNSTEIN & DIDIER, 2009). …”

“…Dermatophytosis, also called ringworm or tinea, is a superficial infection of hair, skin and nails (MIGAKI, 1986;PIER et al, 1994;BIELITZKI, 1998;CHERMETTE et al, 2008). It may involve one or more fungal species of keratinophilic genera Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton (MIGAKI, 1986;MECKLENBURG et al, 2011).…”

“…It may involve one or more fungal species of keratinophilic genera Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton (MIGAKI, 1986;MECKLENBURG et al, 2011). The great importance of ringworm can be explained by the consequences of infections amongst animal communities, cost of treatment, difficulty of control measures, and the issue of public health-especially given that the majority of dermatophytes isolated from animals are zoonotic (PIER, et al, 1994;CHERMETTE et al, 2008).…”

This paper described a case of a capuchin monkey (Sapajus libidinosus) with non-pruritic skin lesions. During the physical examination, multifocal areas of alopecia with crusts, erythema and scaling compatible with dermatophytosis were reported on the right fore and hind limbs and on tail. Fungal culture findings revealed a diagnosis of dermatophytosis due to Microsporum canis. The animal was successfully treated with itraconazole. This is the first report of a dermatophytosis case in S. libidinosus and the first description of an effective treatment in this species.

“…In addition to viruses, other organisms have been recognized in nonhuman primates: bacteria (Brede and Murphy 1968;McClure and others 1986), parasites (Toft 1986), and fungi (Migaki 1986). These agents may have a detrimental effect on nonhuman primates especially in the colony habitat.…”

Infections and diseases are a major cause for concern as well as loss of animal life in the zoo setting. This problem is the result of contact with agents such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, rickettsia, chlamydia, or viruses. Control of such infections and diseases is difficult principally because of the design and purpose of the zoo itself. However, infection and disease can be minimized with appropriate recognition of the problem and training of personnel to limit the spread of infectious organisms. Biohazards need to be considered not only among the various animal populations, but with regard to human contacts, particularly in relation to nonhuman primates.
