Trypanosome infections were sought in 46 non-human primates captured principally in Amazonian Brazil. Twenty-two (47.8%) were infected with four Trypanosoma species: T. cruzi, T. minasense, T. devei and T. rangeli. These preliminary results confirmed the high prevalence and diversity of natural infections with trypanosomes in primates from Brazilian Amazon and were the first formal record of simian infections with trypanosomes in the State of Acre. The presence of T. cruzi-like and T. rangeli-like parasites are recorded in four new hosts.
研究人员在主要于巴西亚马逊地区捕获的46只非人类灵长类动物中寻找锥虫感染情况。其中22只（47.8%）感染了四种锥虫：克氏锥虫、米纳斯锥虫、德维锥虫和兰氏锥虫。这些初步结果证实了巴西亚马逊地区灵长类动物中锥虫自然感染的高流行率和多样性，并且是阿克里州灵长类动物感染锥虫的首个正式记录。在四种新宿主中记录到了类似克氏锥虫和类似兰氏锥虫的寄生虫的存在。
