Five of nine meerkats died during an outbreak in late 1994. These included four kits (2.5 to 4.5 months old) and a 4-year-old meerkat. Two other meerkats, both adults, died in 1992 and 1995. Respiratory insufficiency (4\/7) and incoordination (3\/7) were the most consistent clinical signs, although two of seven meerkats died unexpectedly. At necropsy, the lungs were reddened and noncollapsed (6\/7), and had multiple pale round foci (4\/7). Yellow foci of necrosis in mesenteric lymph nodes (4\/7), splenomegaly (3\/7), and hydropericardium (3\/7) were other common gross findings. Microscopically, interstitial pneumonia was present in all seven meerkats, being acute to subacute in six of them. Type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia, aggregates of foamy macrophages, and giant cells were consistently seen. Multifocal to locally extensive necrosis of mesenteric lymph nodes (4\/7), mild to severe multifocal necrotizing hepatitis (5\/6), and mild nonsuppurative encephalitis (4\/6) were also seen. Toxoplasma-like organisms were consistently associated with these lesions and were stained by the avidin biotin peroxidase procedure with an antiserum that does not cross-react with Neospora caninum. Meerkats were most likely infected after an oral, primary exposure to Toxoplasma. Several observations indicate that meerkats may be highly susceptible to toxoplasmosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/030098589703400101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,22]],"date-time":"2010-01-22T22:37:24Z","timestamp":1264199844000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Epizootic Disseminated Toxoplasmosis in Captive Slender-tailed Meerkats (\n                    <i>Suricata suricatta<\/i>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Juan-Sall\u00e9s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Barcelona Zoo, Parc de La Ciutadella, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Prats","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Pathology, Veterinary School, Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Pathology, Veterinary School, Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Domingo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Pathology, Veterinary School, Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
