dc.description | We thank Madagascar Ministry of the Environment and Forests for permission to study ring-tailed lemurs (no. 155/19/MEDD/SG/DGEF/DGRNE) and the lemur facility for permission to conduct surgery and sample the sick ring-tailed lemurs. | en_ZA |
dc.description | Dr. LaFleur is an assistant professor at the University of San Diego, California, USA, and the founder and director of Lemur Love, a US-based nonprofit organization conducting research, conservation, and small-scale development in Madagascar. Her research examines the ecology of wild ring-tailed lemurs and the legal and illegal trades of wild-captured lemurs in Madagascar. | en_ZA |
dc.description.abstract | We diagnosed tuberculosis in an illegally wild-captured pet ring-tailed lemur manifesting lethargy, anorexia, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Whole-genome sequencing confirmed the Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate belonged to lineage 3 and harbored streptomycin resistance. We recommend reverse zoonosis prevention and determination of whether lemurs are able to maintain M. tuberculosis infection. | en_ZA |
