Do Cryptosporidium spp., Encephalitozoon spp., Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Giardia spp. Pose Any Risk to Orangutans?
Original language description
The orangutans (Pongo abelii and Pongo pygmaeus) are critically endangered mainly as the result of loss and fragmentation of their natural habitat which leads to their closer contact with human population and consequently to the higher risk of pathogen transmission. Consequently, this proximity can pose another serious threat as orangutans are susceptible to many human pathogens and vice versa. Therefore, two hundred and twenty seven orangutans at six different sites on Sumatra and Borneo were sampled to the occurrence of Cryptosporidium spp., Encephalitozoon spp., Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Giardia spp. Out of the total of 228 examined animals 37 were positive for tested parasites (16.2 %). The most prevalent was Encephalitozoon cuniculi genotype IIfound in 25 animals (11 %); Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotype D was detected in seven individuals (3.1 %) and Cryptosporidium spp., including C. muris and C. parvum type A and B, in eight animals (3.5 %).
