Background
The aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate the prevalence and characterization of Campylobacter spp. from non‐human primates primate (NHP) with a history of endemic diarrhea housed at Como Park Zoo.
Methods
Fecal samples from 33 symptom‐free NHP belonging to eight different species were collected weekly for 9 weeks. Species‐level characterization and phylogenetic analysis of isolates included biochemical testing and 16S rRNA sequencing.
Results
Campylobacter spp. were isolated from the feces of 42% (14/33) of the primates. Three Campylobacter spp. (C upsaliensis, C jejuni, and novel Campylobacter sp.) were identified from three NHP species. A possible positive host Campylobacter species‐specificity was observed. However, no statistical association was observed between the isolation of Campylobacter spp. and age and sex of the animal.
Conclusions
The study revealed the value of conducting repeated fecal sampling to establish the overall prevalence of Campylobacter in zoo‐maintained NHP; it also importantly identifies a novel Campylobacter sp. isolated from white‐faced saki monkeys.
