| botfly parasitism and tourism on the endangered black howler monkey of belize. | tourism imposes costs and benefits on wild primates. endangered black howler monkey (alouatta pigra) troops with high exposure to tourism had higher levels of botfly (alouattamyia baeri) parasitism. edge habitat and juvenile numbers did not seem to confound the observed relationship. to improve the cost/benefit ratio of tourism, we recommend further investigation. | 2012 | 22762861 |
| scanning electron microscopy and comparative morphometrics of eggs from six bot fly species (diptera: oestridae). | scanning electron microscope comparisons were made of the eggs of cuterebra austeni sabrosky, c. fontinella coquillet, c. jellisoni curran, c. lepusculi townsend, c. ruficrus (austen), and alouattamyia baeri (shannon & greene). larvae of these flies parasitize rodents, lagomorphs, and monkeys. image analysis of the egg length (maximum projection) and width (minimum projection), egg area (in dorsal view), operculum area (in dorsal view), and operculum area as a percentage of egg area revealed dif ... | 1999 | 10593084 |
| development of alouattamyia baeri (diptera: oestridae) from howler monkeys (primates: cebidae) on barro colorado island, panama. | the fecundity and development of larval stages of the cuterebrid bot fly a. baeri were studied in an unusual host, remotely related to the primary host. third-instar alouattamyia baeri (shannon & greene) removed from howler monkeys, alouatta palliata, were allowed to pupate and then were cultured under controlled conditions. eclosion occurred after 37.9 +/- 0.4 (mean +/- se) (male) and 38.2 +/- 0.4 (female) d at 26 degrees c. five-day-old females were mated using a tethered flight technique and ... | 1998 | 9775591 |
| antibody immunoglobulin g (igg) response to alouattamyia baeri (diptera:cuterebridae) parasitism of howler monkeys, alouatta palliata, in panama. | larval bot fly burdens and the presence of immunoglobulin g (igg) antibodies to larval antigens of alouattamyia baeri (shannon & greene) were determined in howler monkeys, alouatta palliata authority, from barro colorado island, panama, during july and august of 1991 and 1992. monkeys produced antibodies (igg) to both 1st- and 3rd-instar proteins of the monkey bot as measured by an enzyme immunoassay. the response to 1st-instar antigen was correlated with number of bots for the 1991 data and for ... | 1996 | 8961644 |
