Parastrongylus (=Angiostrongylus) costaricensis was first reported in the United States from cotton rats, Sigmodon hispidus, in Texas in 1979. Here, we report the findings of P. costaricensis in a siamang (Hylobates syndactylus) from the Miami MetroZoo, in 2 Ma's night monkeys (Aotus nancymaae) from the DuMond Conservancy located at Monkey Jungle in Miami, in 4 raccoons (Procyon lotor) trapped near the MetroZoo, and in an opossum (Didelphis virginiana) trapped at the MetroZoo. These records are the first records of P. costaricensis from all 4 species of hosts. All of the primates were zoo-born, and the raccoons and opossum were native, indicating that this parasite is now endemic at these 2 sites.
哥斯达黎加副圆线虫（= 广州管圆线虫）于1979年首次在美国得克萨斯州的棉鼠（刚毛棉鼠）体内被发现。在此，我们报告在迈阿密地铁动物园的一只合趾猿（双趾长臂猿）、位于迈阿密猴丛林的杜蒙德保育中心的2只马氏夜猴（南希马氏夜猴）、在地铁动物园附近捕获的4只浣熊（北美浣熊）以及在地铁动物园捕获的一只负鼠（北美负鼠）体内发现哥斯达黎加副圆线虫的情况。这些记录是哥斯达黎加副圆线虫在所有这4种宿主中的首次记录。所有灵长类动物均为动物园出生，浣熊和负鼠为本地物种，这表明这种寄生虫目前在这两个地点呈地方性流行。
