One-hundred-and-twenty-three stool samples were examined from 45 chimpanzees in a natural population in western Uganda. Comparison with previous studies is complicated by the diversity of techniques used and interpretations. The Ugandan population had relatively many intestinal protozoa, including the probably beneficial entodiniomorph ciliates. Strongyloid nematodes are universal among chimpanzees, but were surprisingly absent from those on Mount Assirik in Senegal. Railletina tapeworms are sporadic in their occurrence. The absence of spiruroid nematodes in the Ugandan population reflects the absence of insectivory in this population. There was little evidence of seasonal difference in prevalences.
对乌干达西部一个自然种群中的45只黑猩猩的123份粪便样本进行了检测。由于所使用的技术和解释的多样性，与先前研究的比较变得复杂。乌干达种群有相对较多的肠道原生动物，包括可能有益的内毛虫纲纤毛虫。类圆线虫在黑猩猩中普遍存在，但令人惊讶的是，在塞内加尔的阿西里克山的黑猩猩中却没有。瑞列绦虫的出现是零星的。乌干达种群中没有旋尾线虫，这反映了该种群没有食虫习性。几乎没有证据表明患病率存在季节性差异。
