| colitis in a female tamarin (saguinus mystax). | an adult wild-caught female tamarin (saguinus mystax) housed in a biomedical research facility was found moribund and extremely dehydrated, with severe diarrhea. she initially responded to supportive therapy but died 3 days later. necropsy findings included hyperemia of the colonic mucosa, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, acanthocephalid parasites (prosthenorchis elegans) embedded in the mucosa of the terminal ileum and cecum, and free filarid nematodes (dipetalonema sp.) in the abdominal cavity. cam ... | 2000 | 11487241 |

| gastrointestinal parasites in captive and free-ranging cebus albifrons in the western amazon, ecuador. | currently, there is a lack of surveys that report the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in the white-headed capuchin monkey (cebus albifrons). we therefore assessed the presence and richness (= number of different parasite genera) of parasites in c. albifrons in wildlife refuges (n = 11) and in a free-ranging group near a human village (n = 15) in the ecuadorian amazon. in the 78 samples collected (median of 3 samples per animal), we identified a total of 6 genera of gastrointestinal para ... | 2017 | 28808619 |
| mitochondrial dna diversity in the acanthocephalan prosthenorchis elegans in colombia based on cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) gene sequence. | prosthenorchis elegans is a member of the phylum acanthocephala and is an important parasite affecting new world primates in the wild in south america and in captivity around the world. it is of significant management concern due to its pathogenicity and mode of transmission through intermediate hosts. current diagnosis of p. elegans is based on the detection of eggs by coprological examination. however, this technique lacks both specificity and sensitivity, since eggs of most members of the gen ... | 2015 | 26759793 |
| occurrence of prosthenorchis elegans in free-living primates from the atlantic forest of southern bahia, brazil. | parasite prevalence and abundance are important factors affecting species' conservation. during necropsies on a free-living golden-headed lion tamarin ( leontopithecus chrysomelas ) and two wied's marmosets ( callithrix kuhlii ) in the atlantic forest of southern bahia, brazil, we collected a large number of adult intestinal parasites that we identified as prosthenorchis elegans. this parasite is pathogenic for neotropical primates. prosthenorchis spp. infestation is influenced by diet with incr ... | 2016 | 26981688 |
| the influence of human settlements on the parasite community in two species of peruvian tamarin. | although there is a growing recognition that the transfer of diseases between humans and non-human primates can be of great significance for conservation biology, there have been only a few studies focusing on parasites. in this study, saddleback (saguinus fuscicollis) and moustached tamarin (saguinus mystax) from the rainforest of the peruvian lowlands were used as models to determine helminth parasite associations between canopy-dwelling primate species and a nearby human settlement. the human ... | 2010 | 20025821 |
