Abstract: PurposeDiarrhea is a common clinical condition that affects nonhuman primates (NHP), with a higher incidence often reported in macaques and marmosets.The etiology may be multifactorial, and both infectious and noninfectious causes should be included in the differential diagnoses.The purpose of this document is to guide veterinarians on the etiologies, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options for diarrhea in NHP.As some cases of diarrhea are idiopathic and refractory to treatment, humane endpoints are an important consideration for management.The purpose of the animal in the colony is also a key factor when considering long-term treatment options.
