Nine monkeys who died in Hong Kong's oldest zoo in two days had been infected with an endemic disease.

The animals contracted melioidosis and the disease later caused them to develop sepsis.

The disease is caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is widespread in soils and muddy water.
