%X in the city of florencia (caquet¨¢, colombia), intradermal tuberculosis skin tests (tuberculization) were performed on 20 specimens of adult primates of the species lagothrix lagothricha, ¨¢teles belzebuth, aotus vociferans, cebus paella, cebus albifrons, saimir¨ª sciureus and saguinus fuscicollis held captive by some villagers. each specimen was intradermally inoculated with 0.1 ml of purified protein derivative (ppd skin test) in the abdominal regi¨®n, and monitored at 24, 48 and 72 hours. at the end of monitoring, none of the specimens demonstrated a positive reaction to the test, which determines the non-prevalence of tuberculosis within the sampled population.
