Invasive Candida infections ( ICI ) have been associated with neurodevelopmental impairment or death in human pre‐term neonates. Candidiasis in nonhuman primates is seen mostly in immunosuppressed animals, and ICI is not commonly reported. Here, we report a case of Candida albicans ‐associated ICI in a pre‐term neonatal rhesus macaque.
