Tourism imposes costs and benefits on wild primates. Endangered black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) troops with high exposure to tourism had higher levels of botfly (Alouattamyia baeri) parasitism. Edge habitat and juvenile numbers did not seem to confound the observed relationship. To improve the cost/benefit ratio of tourism, we recommend further investigation.
旅游业给野生灵长类动物带来了成本和收益。与旅游业接触频繁的濒危黑吼猴（Alouatta pigra）群体感染肤蝇（Alouattamyia baeri）的水平更高。边缘栖息地和幼崽数量似乎并未混淆所观察到的关系。为了提高旅游业的成本效益比，我们建议进行进一步调查。
