Abstract

BACKGROUND: Toxoplasmosis led to the death of two Brachyteles arachnoides, an endangered atelid.

METHODS: The diagnosis was established by necropsy, histopathological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural changes.

RESULTS: The analysis confirms the presence of Toxoplasma gondii.

CONCLUSIONS: This report contributes to the development of protocols for health surveillance on maintenance and conservation of southern muriquis.
