Parasites and Natural Antiparasitics in Orangutans
Original language description
Parasitic infections can have a serious impact on the health of a host and endangered primate species are no exception. The genus Pongo (P. pygmaeus, P. abelii) is parasitized by numerous species of several genera (Nematoda 15; Cestoda 1; Trematoda 3; Acanthocephala 1; Protozoa 10). Only limited information is available regarding orang-utan parasites in general and studies focusing on free-living orang-utans are even rarer still. Determination of parasites has usually been carried out using coprologicaltechniques; determination of individual parasite species is only found in 3 articles (from 1877, 1891 and 1950). During our parasitological monitoring of wild and semi-wild orang-utans in Sumatra and Kalimantan we identified the following serious pathogens, based on species determination of individual parasites: 1. Mammomonogamus laryngeus (Syngamidae: Nematoda) ? persistent infection with high pathogenity; three pinworm species (Enterobiinae): 2.
