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.
