“…These are of major concern as they pose a serious threat to the animals and persons who come in contact with the animals, like zoo keepers and veterinarians. In their natural habitat felids range over large areas, have low parasitic exposure and consequently low genetic resistance against parasitic infections (Raja et al 2014). In captivity, for example in zoological gardens, the problem of parasitic infections in these animals can aggravate and pose a serious threat (Muoria et al 2005).…”

“…Thus, there were a multifactorial situation which may have influenced the contamination. Captive lifestyle makes it easy to get parasitary infestation in wild felids (Raja et al, 2014). First of all, the circus is mobile and keeps visiting various geographic areas with various animal and human populations and various food and water sources.…”

“…In contrary, felids live in large areas in their natural habitat; which makes them to face lesser parasitic agents and consequently having low resistance against parasitary infections. In addition to this, captive lifestyle facilitates the susceptibility to infectious diseases (Raja et al, 2014). Krone et al (2008), explicate that reports about parasitary infestation spectrum on wild cats are seldom and generally based on very small groups.…”

“…that can easily be transferred from NHPs to humans and vice versa through contaminated environments are a major concern (Ranglack & Yeager 1986;Bethony et al 2006;Lynn 2010). Single or mixed infections of zoonotic STHs have often been recorded in NHPs from different countries: Bangladesh (Raja et al 2014), Central African Republic (Hasegawa et al 2014), Tanzania (Petrželkova et al 2010), China (Li et al 2017), India (Hussain et al 2013), Sri Lanka (Aviruppola et al 2016), Malaysia (Klaus et al 2017), andSpain (Perez Corden et al 2008). Several studies have been carried out on the prevalence of helminth infection in NHPs in various zoological gardens and/or parks in the southern part of Nigeria: Oyo State (Adedokun et al 2002;Emikpe et al 2002;Adetunji 2014), Ondo State (Egbetade et al 2014), Cross River State (Mbaya & Udendeye 2011), and Imo state (Opara et al 2010).…”
