| gastrointestinal parasites of the guenons of western uganda. | from january 1998 to december 2002, we collected 293 fecal samples from free-ranging individuals of the 4 guenon species of western uganda, i.e., redtail guenons (cercopithecus ascanius), blue monkeys (cercopithecus mitis), l'hoesti monkeys (cercopithecus lhoesti), and vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops), to quantify the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites. helminth eggs, larvae, and protozoan cysts were isolated by sodium nitrate flotation and fecal sedimentation. helminth parasites we ... | 2004 | 15715228 |
| helminth and protozoan gastrointestinal tract parasites in captive and wild-trapped african non-human primates. | the objective of this study was to investigate the gastro-intestinal (git) parasites commonly occurring in captive and wild-trapped (wt) non-human primates (baboons, vervets and sykes) in kenya and compare their prevalence. three hundred and fifteen faecal samples were subjected to a battery of diagnostic tests, namely, direct smear, modified formal ether sedimentation, kato thick smear, harada-mori techniques for parasite detection and culture to facilitate nematode larvae identification. of th ... | 1998 | 9760061 |
| some gastro-intestinal parasites of zoonotic (public health) importance commonly observed in old world non-human primates in kenya. | a study was undertaken to categorise some gastro-intestinal (git) parasites commonly observed in kenyan non-human primates (nhps) on the basis of their health implications for humans. six species of locally available non-human primates, namely olive baboons (papio cyanocephalus anubis), vervet monkey (cercopithecus aethiops), sykes monkey (cercopithecus mitis), black and white colobus (colobus abyssinicus), debrazzas monkey (cercopithecus neglectus) and grey and black mangabeys (cercocebus torqu ... | 1998 | 9776144 |
| zoonotic intestinal parasites in papio anubis (baboon) and cercopithecus aethiops (vervet) from four localities in ethiopia. | a total of 59 faecal samples from ranging papio anubis (baboons) and another 41 from cercopithecus aethiops (vervet) from the rift valley areas of ethiopia were microscopically examined to determine the prevalence and species of major gastro-intestinal parasites of zoonotic importance. faecal smears were prepared from fresh faecal samples, stained using modified ziehl-neelsen method and microscopically examined. about 3 gm of the dropping was also preserved separately in clean and properly label ... | 2004 | 15099809 |
