The animals contracted melioidosis, possibly after some digging work near their cages, that later caused them to develop sepsis.
The disease is caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is widespread in soils and muddy water.
The deceased animals were a De Brazza's Monkey , one Common Squirrel Monkey , three Cotton -top Tamarins and four White-faced Sakis .
Officials say there is generally no danger to humans from contact with infected animals or people.
