the intestinal parasites of a community of feral chimpanzees, pan troglodytes schweinfurthii.	fecal specimens from 32 champanzees living in gombe national park, tanzania, were examined. six species of helminths and 2 species of ciliates were found: probstmayris gombensis file (in press), strongyloides fuelleborni von linstow 1905, necator sp., oesophagostomum sp., abbreviata caucasica von linstow 1902, trichuris sp., troglodytella abrassarti brumpt and joyeux 1921, and an unidentified ciliate. none of the parasitic infections were heavy. this is the first such survey of the chimpanzee in ...	1976	817011
demographic and ecological effects on patterns of parasitism in eastern chimpanzees (pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in gombe national park, tanzania.	from january 2006 to january 2008, we collected 1,045 fecal samples from 90 individually-recognized, free-ranging, eastern chimpanzees (pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) inhabiting gombe national park, tanzania to determine how patterns of parasitism are affected by demographic and ecological covariates. seventeen parasite species were recovered, including eight nematodes (oesophagostomum sp., necator sp., probstmayria gombensis, strongyloides fulleborni, ascaris sp., trichuris sp., abbreviata cau ...	2010	20623606
strongyloides infections of humans and great apes in dzanga-sangha protected areas, central african republic and in degraded forest fragments in bulindi, uganda.	dna sequence analysis was carried out on strongyloides spp. larvae obtained from fecal samples of local humans, a wild western lowland gorilla (gorilla gorilla gorilla) and a central chimpanzee (pan troglodytes troglodytes) inhabiting dzanga-sangha protected areas (dspa), central african republic, and eastern chimpanzees (pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) living in degraded forest fragments on farmland in bulindi, uganda. from humans, both strongyloides fuelleborni and strongyloides stercoralis we ...	2016	27180094
gastrointestinal parasite infections and self-medication in wild chimpanzees surviving in degraded forest fragments within an agricultural landscape mosaic in uganda.	monitoring health in wild great apes is integral to their conservation and is especially important where they share habitats with humans, given the potential for zoonotic pathogen exchange. we studied the intestinal parasites of wild chimpanzees (pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) inhabiting degraded forest fragments amid farmland and villages in bulindi, uganda. we first identified protozoan and helminth parasites infecting this population. sixteen taxa were demonstrated microscopically (9 protozo ...	2017	28692673
