Gross and histopathological findings revealed acute fibrinous pneumonia, septicemia, and myocardial necrosis, while bacterial culture of lung tissue and thoracic fluid yielded\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2010hemolytic\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp., implicating it as the likely cause of death. Whereas species\u2010level identification was not performed due to resource limitations, isolation of this species in pure culture supports its implication in this case, leaning on the published knowledge of its primary role in bacterial septicemia and pneumonia and other soft tissue infections in monkeys, even in captivity. Roloway monkeys (\n                    <jats:italic>Cercopithecus roloway<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) are critically endangered primates native to the Upper Guinea forests of West Africa. This report describes the sudden death of a 15\u2010year\u2010old female at the Accra Zoological Garden and the subsequent diagnostic investigation, which revealed\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2010hemolytic\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. as the causative agent of acute pneumonia and septicemia. This case underscores the need for structured health monitoring in captive breeding programs and highlights veterinary and husbandry measures crucial to conservation efforts. Additionally, a uterine leiomyosarcoma was detected, which may explain Sweetpea\u2032s failure to reproduce despite long\u2010term pairing. This case highlights the importance of surveillance for beta\u2010hemolytic streptococci in captive monkeys, more so the endangered species.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crve\/4924170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,7]],"date-time":"2026-01-07T09:29:36Z","timestamp":1767778176000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acute Bacterial Septicemia in a Critically Endangered Roloway Monkey in a Primate Breeding Center at the Accra Zoological Garden, Ghana: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3671-4342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Suu-Ire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henry","family":"Abugri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Asumah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Abbiw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Turkson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustapha","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0902-8339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Gathumbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","volume-title":"Cercopithecus diana","author":"Kennedy K.","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","volume-title":"IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group","author":"Mittermeier R.
