molecular identification of schistosoma mattheei from feces of kinda (papio cynocephalus kindae) and grayfoot baboons (papio ursinus griseipes) in zambia.terminal-spined schistosoma sp. eggs were detected in several groups of baboons living in kafue national park in central zambia. a total of 166 fecal samples was screened; egg prevalence overall ranged between 7% and 10%, while infection intensities were low. formalin-fixed eggs had an average length of 144.5 microm and a breadth of 48.3 microm, but the schistosome species could not be unambiguously identified by size or morphology. we used molecular methods to definitively identify the parasite ...201019697970
male-driven grooming bouts in mixed-sex dyads of kinda baboons (papio kindae).the behavior of the central african kinda baboon (papio kindae) is not well documented. having previously noted distinctive grooming behavior in several kinda baboon populations, we investigated the topic more systematically in the kafue national park, zambia. we recorded the duration and details of male-female dyadic interactions (approaches, withdrawals and time spent grooming) in the early morning and late afternoon. such interactions were more often initiated by the male and terminated by th ...201425012475
