Parasitic coinfection in monkey

This case report originated from fecal examination of six mona monkeys, which lived together in a cage. The helminth eggs from the feces were evaluated microscopically using the native method. Six eggs of Trichuris sp. were found, and the monkeys were subsequently treated with Curcuma Plus® orally for 3 days, combined by 3 days of fenbendazole orally. On the 6th day, no Trichuris sp. eggs were found; however, Entamoeba sp. cysts were discovered. No Entamoeba sp. cysts were identified on day 13. Helminthic infections will frequently dominate during protozoal and helminthic co-infection stages. A protozoal infection can be recognized after the helminth infection, which was treated with anthelmintics.
