Unique case of disseminated toxoplasmosis and concurrent hepatic capillariasis in a ring-tailed lemur: first case description

A unique co-infection with <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> and <i>Capillaria hepatica</i> is reported in a semi-free-living ring-tailed lemur (<i>Lemur catta</i>). In this case acute toxoplasmosis, characterised by severe necrotising inflammation in different organs, was...
