ABSTRACT

A free‐ranging road‐killed brown howler monkey ( Alouatta guariba clamitans ) presented multiple mucosal‐colored papules and plaques on oral mucosa. Pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of epithelial hyperplasia with koilocytosis. Papillomavirus antigens were demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, and PCR was positive for partial amplification of Alouatta guariba papillomavirus 1 DNA.
