Indian monkey diarrhoea outbreak

Officials in the mountainous northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh say
they are
struggling to control a severe form of monkey diarrhoea.
Thousands of primates in the forested Himalayan slopes are affected.

Officials say the disease has killed dozens and hundreds more remain ill with
bleeding
from their mouths, and rapid weight loss.

A veterinary doctor treating them says they are being given bread smeared
with honey and
laced with antibiotics.
