Incidental Detection of Microfilariae in <scp> <i>Saguinus bicolor</i> </scp> and <scp> <i>Saguinus midas</i> </scp> From Central Amazon
Callitrichid primates Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas from urban accidents in peri-urban forests from Central Amazon were necropsied. Analysis of thoracic and peritoneal fluid showed that 56.5% (13/23) of S. bicolor individuals and 13.3% (4/30) of S. midas individuals had the presence of Dipetalonema and Mansonella (Tetrapetalonema) microfilariae.
