SANCHEZ-SAENZ, Laura Cristina; BRIEVA-RICO, Claudia  and  DIAZ-QUIROGA, Claudia Consuelo. Suppurative endometritis in a captive white-footed tamarin (Saguinus leucopus):. Rev. Med. Vet. [online]. 2020, n.41, pp.57-69.  Epub Mar 07, 2021. ISSN 0122-9354.  https://doi.org/10.19052/mv.vol1.iss41.6.

Endometritis is inflammation of the intern uterus lining caused by different infectious microorganisms, and it can be clinical or subclinical and have an acute or chronic path. This paper describes the case of a female white-footed tamarin (Saguinus leucopus) in rehabilitation from the Unidad de Rescate y Rehabilitacion de Animales Silvestres (URRAS), that presented a uterus disease and the pathological findings were compatible with suppurative endometritis. There are no reports of endometritis in Callitrichidae, suggesting that more studies need to be done to determine the risk factors in the presentation of these reproductive diseases and to standardize paraclinical tests that improve their diagnosis in small primates, taking into account the limited information available for the affected species and the implications for its conservation.

Keywords : endometritis; primate; reproduction; Saguinus leucopus; white-footed tamarin.
