Abstract
One hundred Macaco mulatta, trapped in India and transported directly to the California Primate Research Center, were surveyed for the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths. Trichostrongylus sp. was found in 86% of the animals, followed by Strongyloides fulleborni (63%), Streptopharagus sp. (38%), Oesophagostomum sp. (23%) and Anatrichosoma sp. (21%). Treatment with mebendazole and thiabendazole was efficacious against all the intestinal nematodes, with the exception of mebendazole versus Streptopharagus sp.Keywords
