Resumo
Os animais da Ordem Primata são muito susceptíveis as infecções parasitárias. Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de investigar a ocorrência de Giardia spp. e Cryptosporidium spp. em macacos prego mantidos em cativeiro. Amostras fecais de 50 macacos-pregos foram processadas pela Técnicas de Faust e por meio da coloração negativa de verde malaquita. Os resultados obtidos nesse experimento foram submetidos à análise estatística pelo teste qui-quadrado com correção de yates, para verificar a associação desses enteroparasitos em relação ao gênero. Assim, foi observado que não houve correlação entre o sexo dos macacos e a presença dos protozoários supramencionados. Importante evidenciar que quatro amostras foram positivas para Giardia spp. e 12 amostras para Cryptosporidium spp. Assim, nós observamos a liberação de cistos de Giardia spp. e oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em amostras fecais de macacos pregos assintomáticos mantidos em cativeiro.
Animals of the Primate Order are very susceptible to parasitic infections. This study was developed with the objective of investigating the occurrence of Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. in capuchin monkeys kept in captivity. Fecal samples from 50 capuchin monkeys were processed by Faust's Techniques and negatively stained with malachite green. The results obtained in this experiment were submitted to statistical analysis using the chisquare test with Yates correction, to verify the association of these enteroparasites in relation to gender. Thus, it was observed that there was no correlation between the sex of the monkeys and the presence of the aforementioned protozoa. It is important to highlight that four samples were positive for Giardia spp. and 12 samples for Cryptosporidium spp. Thus, we observed the release of Giardia spp. and oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in fecal samples from asymptomatic capuchin monkeys kept in captivity.
