“…Noma is thought to be an opportunistic infectious disease, but its primary cause remains unknown. Previous studies have reported noma to be associated with bacterial and viral infections, including staphylococcus, streptococcus, micrococcus, proteae, fusobacterium necrophorum, AIDS, cytomegalovirus, simian virus 40, and simian retrovirus-1 [3,4,7,8,10,11,17,21].…”

“…Dermatologic lesions are often secondary to systemic infections. SRV type 2, a simian type D retrovirus, can cause ischemic, necrotizing cutaneous lesions over the maxillary arcade in macaques involving the midline of the face (nose and lips) 1,96,97 . This is not likely a direct viral effect but the result of secondary bacterial infection resulting from immune suppression.…”

In general, veterinary dermatologists do not have extensive clinical experience of nonhuman primate (NHP) dermatoses. The bulk of the published literature does not provide an organized evidence-based approach to the NHP dermatologic case. The veterinary dermatologist is left to extract information from both human and veterinary dermatology, an approach that can be problematic as it forces the clinician to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions based on two very disparate bodies of literature. A more cohesive approach to NHP dermatology – without relying on assumptions that NHP pathology most commonly behaves similarly to other veterinary and human disease – is required. This review of the dermatology of NHP species includes discussions of primary dermatoses, as well as diseases where dermatologic signs represent a significant secondary component, provides a first step towards encouraging the veterinary community to study and report the dermatologic diseases of nonhuman primates.

“…Spontaneously occurring gangrene of facial tissues resembling noma (Cancrum oris) of man has been described in chimpanzees (Bourdelle, Urbain & Davesne, 1931), rhesus monkeys (Adams & Bishop, 1980a, b) and Formosan rock monkeys (Macaca cyclopis) (Buchanan, Sehgal, Bronson, Rodger & Horton, 1981). A similar disease was observed in two adult cotton topped marmosets (Saguinus oedipus) within the colony of the German Primate Centre and is reported here.…”
