Abstract

A case of salmonellosis in a captive chimpanzee (Pan troglydytes) is reported. Confirmatory diagnosis was based on clinical signs, necropsy and histopathological examination, and the isolation of Salmonella pullorum from the lung, liver, kidney and intestines of the animal. The source of infection was not ascertained.
