Abstract

Fresh faecal droppings of wild group of De Brazza's monkeys (Cercopithecus neglectus), earmarked for translocation, were collected between January and July 1998. The samples were analysed using direct smears, ether-sedimentation and the Harada-Mori culture techniques for gastro-intestinal tract parasites (GIT). Two species of helminths and three of protozoa were detected. Entamoeba coli was found in all 40 samples screened from 11 monkeys. Entamoeba histolytica was detected in 71.8% of the total samples screened, Streptopharagus spp. in 12.8% and Strongyloides spp. and Balantidium coli each in 7.7% of the samples. E. histolytica and Streptopharagus spp. were most prevalent in faecal samples of juveniles while Strongyloides spp. and B. coli were mostly found in adult females. This, to our knowledge, is the first report of GIT parasites in a wild population of De Brazza's monkeys and our results are baseline.

摘要

1998年1月至7月间，采集了用于易地放归的野生德氏长尾猴（Cercopithecus neglectus）新鲜粪便样本。采用直接涂片法、乙醚沉淀法和原田-森氏培养技术对样本进行胃肠道寄生虫（GIT）分析。检测到两种蠕虫和三种原生动物。在从11只猴子采集的所有40份样本中均发现结肠内阿米巴。在筛查的所有样本中，溶组织内阿米巴的检出率为71.8%，链状咽颊虫属为12.8%，粪类圆线虫属和结肠小袋纤毛虫的检出率均为7.7%。溶组织内阿米巴和链状咽颊虫属在幼年猴粪便样本中最为常见，而粪类圆线虫属和结肠小袋纤毛虫大多在成年雌性猴中发现。据我们所知，这是关于野生德氏长尾猴种群胃肠道寄生虫的首次报告，我们的结果是基线数据。
