Abstract
During February 1966, necropsies were performed on 97 baboons of all ages and both sexes in their native habitat at different locations in Kenya, East Africa. Among the selective samples collected for pathologic studies, parasitic conditions such asPneumonyssus (84.5%),Sarcocystis (31.3%),Esophagostomum (51.0%) and others were the predominant findings followed by pathologic conditions attributable to acute hemorrhagic pneumonia (5.2%), suppurative pneumonia, and pleuritis (4.3%). No positive tuberculosis was found, although one section has been suspected. There were no significant mycotic lesions. Non-suppurative types of nephritis (8.6%), hepatitis (6.7%), myocarditis (6.7%) and progressive pneumonitis (8.6%) were also observed. Although no neoplasia was found, degenerative conditions such as fatty infiltration (12.0%) and cloudy swelling of the liver were frequently observed.
