- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 40-month-old female captive wild howler monkey which suffered depression, mild jaundice, and sever hepatosplenomegaly. The monkey was found with Toxoplasmosis due to Toxoplasma gondii. It suggests that T. gondii refers to a pathogenic protozoan that has zoonotic potential causing spontaneous infection.
