SUMMARY:

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease that causes high morbidity and mortality in humans and nonhuman primates, especially in captivity. In Brazil, a highlight of this disease in humans has been increasing slowly in recent years. Tuberculosis has a cosmopolitan distribution and is caused by microorganisms belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The main etiologic agent of tuberculosis in nonhuman primates is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, although M. bovis, M. africanum and M. microtii are also reported. Due to a high genetic similarity to humans, nonhuman primates accurately model all aspects of tuberculosis and are considered a gold standard biomodel in experimental modifications by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Old World Primates are the most susceptible than New World Primates, and clinical signs appear according to the location and severity of the infection. The pathogenesis of tuberculosis is highly complex and dynamic, and the morphological findings in nonhuman primates are heterogeneous, and multiple macro and microscopic presentations can be observed. The diagnosis of tuberculosis in nonhuman primates is carried out by bacterial culture and isolation, molecular tests, immunological assays, or immunohistochemistry. The treatment of tuberculosis in nonhuman primates is practical, but the natural occurrence in captivity has resulting consequences due to the death of animals and costs related to the diagnosis and control of the disease. This study aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical, pathological, and molecular aspects of New and Old World Non-Human Primates diagnosed with tuberculosis, which came from captivity in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
