The objective of the present study was to report the occurrence of Trypanoxyuris in owl monkeys, using data from clinical and haematological examinations, as well as clinical chemistry (blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)) of infected and uninfected animals. Twenty animals in apparently good clinical health were studied. The coproparasitological examinations showed eggs compatible with Trypanoxyuris sp. in 50% of animals. The number of red blood cells, haematocrit and haemoglobin levels were significantly higher in the males, compared to the females, irrespective of parasitism. However, comparing segmented neutrophils in infected males and females, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed. All blood chemistry values were considered normal for the species pattern, even though significant differences were observed for BUN and ALT in infected males. The infection by Trypanoxyuris sp. did not appear to interfere with the clinical condition of animals.
本研究的目的是利用感染和未感染动物的临床、血液学检查以及临床化学（血尿素氮（BUN）、肌酐、丙氨酸转氨酶（ALT）和天冬氨酸转氨酶（AST））数据，报告夜猴体内曲尾线虫的发生情况。对20只临床健康状况明显良好的动物进行了研究。粪便寄生虫学检查显示，50%的动物粪便中有与曲尾线虫属相符的虫卵。无论是否感染寄生虫，雄性动物的红细胞数量、血细胞比容和血红蛋白水平均显著高于雌性。然而，比较感染的雄性和雌性动物的分叶中性粒细胞，观察到显著差异（P < 0.05）。尽管在感染的雄性动物中观察到BUN和ALT有显著差异，但所有血液化学值均被认为符合该物种的正常范围。曲尾线虫属的感染似乎并未干扰动物的临床状况。
