Massive intracardiac or aortic mural thrombi, probably of septic origin, occurred in six capuchin monkeys ( Cebus apella ) and accounted for 26% of all adult deaths in a breeding group over a 4‐yr period. Previous experimental inoculations with herpes simplex type 2 virus may have contributed to the development of these fatal lesions.
