“…As part of ecological restoration efforts in collaboration with the Centro de Biodiversidad del Chaco Argentino, researchers evaluated the growth rates of digested native seeds to assess the potential of owl monkeys as seed dispersers and their role in forest regeneration. The team also provided the information required to update the IUCN status of A. azarae (Fernandez‐Duque et al, 2008), as well as new information on their ecology and behavior as part of a recent categorization of mammal conservation in the country (Briggs et al, 2019). In Argentina, the Owl Monkey Project has contributed to the National Plan for Primate Conservation, which was approved by the governmental resolution in 2021.…”

The majority of the 11 species of owl monkeys (Aotus spp.) have declining populations or are listed as data deficient. Deforestation due to agriculture, development, or logging poses threats to owl monkeys throughout their range. In some areas, Aotus are hunted for bushmeat or trapped for the wildlife trade. In Colombia, the country with the greatest number of Aotus species, owl monkeys are also threatened by civil unrest. To help combat these challenges, nonprofit organizations and field researchers in habitat countries have successfully implemented a variety of conservation projects such as censusing and monitoring owl monkey populations, establishing protected areas, reforesting degraded areas, filing lawsuits to protect wild populations, helping law enforcement with environmental regulation, and promoting environmental education. We highlight some of the conservation successes and suggest actions people around the world can take to contribute to these important efforts.

“…Employing diverse biological and ecological methods, the team has taken a multidisciplinary approach and combined studies of population biology, demography, behavior, genetics, endocrinology, and ecology [59,155,[169][170][171][172][173]. The OMP was instrumental in providing the information required to update the IUCN status of A. azarae [174], as well as new information on their ecology and behavior for the recent categorization of primate conservation in the country [175] and in declaring them a Natural Monument in the province of Formosa.…”

There are five different primate species inhabiting widely distinct ecoregions in Argentina. Each of them faces various threats in terms of conservation and conflicts that hamper their ability to coexist with human populations. We present here some of the drivers known to be the causes of conflicts between humans and primates in the southernmost area of distribution of Latin American primates. We focus our synthesis on two of the biggest sources of conflict: the effects of different anthropogenic disturbances, and human misconceptions concerning the role of primates in the ecosystem. In each section, we briefly characterize the conflicts worldwide and then provide specific cases and examples from Argentina. In the last part of the manuscript, we further describe some ongoing national and regional educational, research, and conservation approaches to mitigate those effects.

“…Parasites of free-ranging A. azarae are reported from a protected area (Estancia Guaycolec, 58° 11′ W, 25° 58′ S). In this area, Perea-Rodriguez et al [61] aimed to report for the first time the gastrointestinal parasites of social groups and solitary individuals. Through a non-invasive survey, they collected 106 fecal samples of which 92% presented at least one parasite taxon and 60% of them presented multiple infections.…”

Purpose of ReviewIn Argentina, there are five non-human primate (NHP) species: Sapajus nigritus cucullatus, Sapajus cay, Alouatta caraya, Alouatta guariba clamitans, and Aotus azarae. All of them inhabit protected and non-protected areas and face severe threats due anthropization. We aim to summarize the information available about parasites and infectious diseases of these NHPs and suggest further research on primate diseases in Argentina. Recent Findings NHPs of Argentina are hosts of several parasites and pathogens important for conservation as well as public health. Alouatta species are lethally susceptible to yellow fever virus, which makes them suitable health sentinels of possible outbreaks. For other primate species, few parasite surveys have been carried out. Summary Assessing the presence of infectious diseases and long-term surveillance on NHP allow the development of strategies to help in the early detection of pathogens that may threat public health. Increasing the knowledge about parasites and infectious diseases and their consequences in NHP of Argentina is needed, considering a One Health approach.
