โฆ Synopsis
Jay King
Shigella flexneri is a highly contagious bacterium capable of producing a variety of disease syndromes, ranging from diarrhea to death in all primates, including humans. Although of importance to zoological institutions, relevant information regarding this pathogen has not been readily available to zoo personnel. The medical and veterinary literature was reviewed. Epidemiology, species affected, diagnosis, symptomatology, treatment, and public health concerns are discussed. Recommendations to prevent the introduction of Shigella into a facility or to eradicate Shigella once established in a facility are presented.
