Resumo: Faecal samples were collected from fifty three freshly captured monkeys which were kept at the Barbados Primate Research Centre and Wildlife Reserve (BPRCWR). Examination of these samples for gastrointestinal helminths using the zinc sulphate floatation method revealed an overall infection rate of 88.7%.The parasites observed included Strongyloides (62.4%), Physaloptera (58.5%), Trichuris (52.8%), Hookworm (34.0%), Oesophagostomum (30.2%), Trichostrongylus (3.8%) and Ascaris (5.7%). No significant differences in overall prevalence were observed according to sex or age. Polyparasitism appeared to be common as it was observed in 92.5% of all monkeys examined. It is concluded that these monkeys could act as reservoirs of some of the parasites which can infect man.

Amostras fecais foram coletadas de 53 macacos recentemente capturados que foram mantidos no "Barbados Primate Research Centre and Wildlife Reserve (BPRCWR)". Exames destas amostras para helmintos gastrointestinais usando o método de flutuação de sulfato de zinco revelaram média total de infecção de 88,7%. Os parasitos observados incluiam Strongyloides (62,4%), Physaloptera (58,5%), Trichuris (52,8%), Ancilostomídeos (34,0%), Oesophagostomum (30,2%), Trichostrongylus (3,8%) e Ascaris (5,7%). Nenhuma diferença significativa na prevalência total foi observada de acordo com o sexo e idade. Poliparasitismo parece ser comum conforme foi observado em 92,5% de todos macacos examinados. Os autores concluem que estes macacos poderiam agir como reservatórios de alguns parasitos que podem infectar o homem. Universidade de São Paulo.
