Preliminary insight into the impact of dietary strach on the ciliate,Neobalantidium coli, in captive chimpanzees

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Infections caused by the intestinal ciliate Balantidium coli are asymptomatic in most hosts. In humans and captive African great apes clinical infections occasionally occur, manifested mainly by dysentery; however, factors responsible for development ofclinical balantidiasis have not been fully clarified. We studied the effect of dietary starch on the intensities of infection by B. coli in two groups of captive chimpanzees. Adult chimpanzees infected by B. coli from the Hodonín Zoo and from the Brno Zoo, Czech Republic, were fed with a high starch diet (HSD) (average 13.5% of starch), followed by a five-day transition period and subsequently with a period of low starch diet (LoSD) (average 0.1% of starch). We collected fecal samples during the last seven days of HSD and LoSD and fixed them in 10% formalin. We quantified trophozoites of B. coli using the FLOTAC method. Generalized linear mixed-effects model analysis of data revealed significantly lower numbers of the B. coli trophozoit
