Molecular detection of Trypanosoma minasense in captive black-faced black spider monkeys Ateles chamek (mammalia; primate) [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The present study aimed to assess Trypanosoma spp. infection in 17 captive black-faced black spider monkeys (Ateles chamek), living at the Zoological Garden of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Blood samples (3 mL) were collected by femoral puncture by certified

High infection prevalences by Trypanosoma minasense in non-human primates from the Southeast region of Brazil [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Non-human primates (NHPs) are reported as exclusive hosts of Trypanosoma minasense, whose transmission cycle remains unknown. We investigated trypanosomatid infections in 194 NHPs of nine species from the Brazilian Southeast region.

Non-human primates as indicators of Kinetoplastida diversity in an urban environment in Midwest Brazil [PDF]

Frontiers in Parasitology
IntroductionTrypanosomatids are parasites widely distributed in nature, parasitizing several host species in single or co-infections. Campo Grande (CG), capital of Mato Grosso do Sul State, is characterized by several green areas and forest fragments ...

Polymorphism in Trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) minasense in the blood of experimentally infected squirrel monkey and marmosets [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
Experimental infections by Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) minasense were performed in primates - Saimiri sciureus and Callithrix penicillata - with the objective of searching for morphological variations of the blood trypomastigotes with respect to hosts and

Temporal and demographic blood parasite dynamics in two free-ranging neotropical primates [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017
Parasite-host relationships are influenced by several factors intrinsic to hosts, such as social standing, group membership, sex, and age. However, in wild populations, temporal variation in parasite distributions and concomitant infections can alter ...

Molecular characterization of trypanosomatid infections in wild howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) in northeastern Argentina [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2016
The transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi by vectors is confined to the Americas, and the infection circulates in at least two broadly defined transmission cycles occurring in domestic and sylvatic habitats.

Redefining infections with trypanosomatids in Neotropical primates: Case study of the white-footed tamarin (Oedipomidas leucopus) [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Trypanosomes are blood parasites capable of infecting nearly any vertebrate. Many Neotropical primates frequently host trypanosomes and are considered potential reservoirs for Trypanosoma cruzi and other human-pathogenic trypanosomatids.
