SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Drug-resistant tuberculosis in pet ring-tailed lemur, Madagascar

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 27, No. 3, Year 2021

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.
