Keywords:
primate disease, meningoencephalitis, herpes virusAbstract
We describe the epidemiological, clinical and pathological aspects of a herpes virus simples
infection in a white-tufted-ear marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) in the semiarid region of Paraiba.
The disease occurred in a female marmoset, seven-month-old, which presented prostration and
ulcerative lesions in the skin and oral cavity. The owners also informed that a child with oral
herpetic lesions shared food with the animal. At necropsy, there were vesicular and ulcerative
lesions on the labial commissure, soft palate and tongue were observed. On histopathology,
there was facial dermatitis, stomatitis and pustular and ulcerative glossitis associated with nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis and vasculitis containing intranuclear Cowdry A type inclusion bodies in epithelial cells, neurons and glial cells. The diagnosis of herpesvirus simplex
infection was performed by the epidemiological, clinical and pathological data and confirmed
by immunohistochemistry.
