Abstract

Background

Oral focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) is an uncommon infection affecting humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and howler monkeys. This study describes 10 cases of free-ranging brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba clamitans) diagnosed with FEH and Alouatta guariba Papillomavirus 1 (AgPV 1).

Methods

We analyzed demographic characteristics, rescue conditions, clinical and pathological findings, and species-specific behavior factors in these cases. The study assessed the frequency of occurrence and potential contributing factors of FEH and AgPV 1 infection.

Results

The frequency of FEH was 8.13%. Most affected howlers were adult or geriatric males with comorbidities or stressful conditions. Clinical and pathological observations were consistent with AgPV 1 infection. Species-specific behaviors and environmental stressors were identified as contributing factors.

Conclusions

FEH associated with AgPV 1 affected mainly adult or geriatric males with ongoing comorbidities or stressful conditions. Further research is needed to understand these factors for effective management.

棕色吼猴（Alouatta guariba clamitans）口腔局灶性上皮增生的流行病学特征。

背景：口腔局灶性上皮增生（FEH）是一种不常见的感染，影响人类、黑猩猩、倭黑猩猩和吼猴。本研究描述了 10 例自由放养的棕色吼猴（Alouatta guariba clamitans）被诊断为 FEH 和 Alouatta guariba Papillomavirus 1（AgPV 1）：我们分析了这些病例的人口统计学特征、抢救条件、临床和病理结果以及物种特有的行为因素。研究评估了FEH和AgPV 1感染的发生频率和潜在诱因：结果：FEH的发生率为8.13%。结果：FEH的发生率为8.13%，大多数受影响的嚎鹿为成年或老年男性，且患有合并症或处于应激状态。临床和病理观察结果与AgPV 1感染一致。物种特有的行为和环境应激因素被认为是诱因：结论：与AgPV 1相关的FEH主要影响成年男性或老年男性，他们都有持续的并发症或压力。需要进一步研究以了解这些因素，从而进行有效管理。
