J H Johnson et al. J Zoo Wildl Med. 1998 Jun.

Abstract

A case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis caused by a dimorphic fungus Coccidioides immitis in a mandrill baboon (Mandrillus sphinx) was diagnosed following radiography, ultrasound-guided aspiration of thoracic lesions, and aspiration cytology of skeletal lesions of the left sixth rib. The diagnosis was confirmed by fungal culture and serum quantitative immunodiffusion for antibodies against C. immitis.
