| zoonotic parasite infections of the arabian sacred baboon papio hamadryas arabicus thomas in asir province, saudi arabia. | evidence of zoonotic parasite infection was recorded in the faeces of the arabian sacred baboon in human populated residential and non-residential areas in asir, southwestern saudi arabia. cysts of giardia intestinalis and entamoeba histolytica, and ova of hymenolepis nana, enterobius vermicularis, ascaris sp., trichuris sp., and a hookworm were encountered in 45 (about 39%) of 115 faecal samples examined. a higher rate of infection was observed in the residential areas. most of the parasites re ... | 1988 | 3232917 |
| zoonotic intestinal parasites of hamadryas baboons papio hamadryas in the western and northern regions of saudi arabia. | six hundred and thirty-three faecal samples were randomly collected and examined for ova and cysts of intestinal parasites from five groups of hamadryas baboons of different population densities, with different human contact and in different ecological conditions (al-baha, turabah and al-taif in south-western and al-rihat and al-akhal in north-western saudi arabia). nine parasites were recorded (giardia lamblia, entamoeba histolytica, escherichia coli, balantidium coli, enterobius sp., trichuris ... | 1995 | 8544227 |
| patterns of gastro-intestinal parasites and commensals as an index of population and ecosystem health: the case of sympatric western chimpanzees (pan troglodytes verus) and guinea baboons (papio hamadryas papio) at fongoli, senegal. | the exponential decline of great apes over the past 50 years has resulted in an urgent need for data to inform population viability assessment and conservation strategies. health monitoring of remaining ape populations is an important component of this process. in support of this effort, we examined endoparasitic and commensal prevalence and richness as proxies of population health for western chimpanzees (pan troglodytes verus) and sympatric guinea baboons (papio hamadryas papio) at fongoli, se ... | 2011 | 20853397 |
| natural infection of baboons by entamoeba histolytica elicits anti- gal-lectin heavy subunit iga and igg antibodies with shared epitope specificity to that of humans. | non-human primates, such as baboons (papio hamadryas anubis), are natural hosts for entamoeba species; infections can be asymptomatic or result in invasive lethal disease. it was sought to determine whether following natural infection by entamoeba. histolytica, baboon anti-amebic antibodies recognized native gallectin, a recombinant portion of the lectin heavy subunit (designated lc3) and specific heavy subunit epitopes; we compared the specificity of anti-amebic antibodies from baboons to that ... | 2013 | 24640872 |
