Background: Understanding which non-human primates (NHPs) act as a wild reservoir for
blood-borne pathogens will allow us to better understand the ecology of diseases and the …

Neotropical primate parasitology has been dominated by studies of howler monkeys
(Alouatta spp.), whereas the literature on the parasites of other platyrrhines is relatively …

In the present work, a total of 339 nominal taxa of helminths (53 trematodes, 46 cestodes, 12
acanthocephalans, 227 nem-atodes, and 1 hirudinean), associated with 136 taxa of wild …

While ecologists agree that habitat loss has a substantial negative effect on biodiversity it is
still very much a matter of debate whether habitat fragmentation has a lesser effect and …

This study characterizes Blastocystis species infections in humans and mantled howler
monkeys, Alouatta palliata aequatorialis, living in close proximity to one another in …

The majority of the parasite assessments of New World primates have been conducted
through the identification of the eggs found in faeces, though many species of parasites …

An analysis of gastrointestinal parasites of Ecuadorian mantled howler monkeys, Alouatta
palliata aequatorialis, was conducted based on examination of fecal smears, flotations, and …

Primate–parasite interactions are often investigated via coprological studies given ethical
and conservation restrictions of collecting primate hosts. Yet, these studies are inadequate …

Parasites constitute essential elements of biodiversity, playing fundamental roles for the
functioning and configuration of any ecosystem. The continuous and accelerated human …

One of the major factors threatening chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in Guinea‐Bissau
is habitat fragmentation. Such fragmentation may cause changes in symbiont dynamics …
