An adult male Callimico goeldii died spontaneously. At necropsy, small whitish foci were found randomly distributed on the liver surface. Histologically, the foci were composed of mixed inflammatory cells with predominant polymorphonuclear cell infiltration and central areas of necrosis. Microbiological cultures revealed a Gram‐negative coccoid‐bacilli with bipolar staining. Biochemical analysis revealed that the microorganism was Pasteurella haemolytica.
