gastrointestinal parasites of ecuadorian mantled howler monkeys (alouatta palliata aequatorialis) based on fecal analysis.an analysis of gastrointestinal parasites of ecuadorian mantled howler monkeys, alouatta palliata aequatorialis, was conducted based on examination of fecal smears, flotations, and sedimentations. at least 1 type of parasite was detected in 97% of the 96 fecal samples screened across 19 howler monkey groups using these techniques. samples averaged 3.6 parasite species per individual (±1.4 sd). parasites included species representing genera of 2 apicomplexans: cyclospora sp. (18% of individual sa ...201525686475
characterization of blastocystis species infection in humans and mantled howler monkeys, alouatta palliata aequatorialis, living in close proximity to one another.this study characterizes blastocystis species infections in humans and mantled howler monkeys, alouatta palliata aequatorialis, living in close proximity to one another in northwestern ecuador. blastocystis species were identified from 58 of 96 (60.4 %) mantled howler monkey fecal samples, and 44 of 55 human fecal samples (81.5 %) by polymerase chain reaction. using single-stranded conformation polymorphism, we were able to efficiently separate and sequence subtypes (sts) within mixed samples wi ...201525859926
