Abstrakt: An investigation of 272 non-human primates (75 Macacca cynomolgus, 97 Macacca mulattaand 100 Cercopithecus aethiops) revealed a high incidence of respiratory disease caused by Corynebacterium ulcerans, Staphylococci, Diplococci and Streptococci. Escherichia coliwas also found as a secondary invader. Most of the infections occurred during winter in Macaca cynomolgusand were caused by Corynebacterium ulceransand Diplococcus pneumoniae. The C. ulceransstrains were phage type VI G. A phage type III C strain was isolated from a Macacca mulatta.The high incidence of C. ulceranssuggests that this organism plays a significant role in the pathology of respiratory disease in the non-human primate.
