“…Protozoa were more often detected in NHPs' feces than helminths. A similar scenario was reported in biomedical institutions in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as in zoos in Bangladesh, Belgium, Nigeria and France [5,6,19,36,37]. The highest protozoa frequency may have been favored by these agents' direct biological cycle, low infective dose, high cyst resistance in the environment and short pre-patent period and by the cysts' infective capacity right after their excretion [5,13,36].…”

“…NHPs are one of the major reservoirs of parasites and can transmit zoonotic diseases due to their close interactions with humans ( Dawet et al, 2013 ). There is a long history of interaction between humans and NHPs which has resulted in a complex web of behavioral, ecological, and epidemiological relationships.…”

“…GI parasites in NHPs can be the major cause of gastro-enteritis, watery diarrhea, hemorrhage, dysentery and extra-intestinal infections such as liver abscess and even death (Akpan et al, 2010). NHPs are one of the major reservoirs of parasites and can transmit zoonotic diseases due to their close interactions with humans (Dawet et al, 2013). There is a long history of interaction between humans and NHPs which has resulted in a complex web of behavioral, ecological, and epidemiological relationships.…”
