Abstract

The knowledge of gastrointestinal parasites in primates is important for the management of the population of monkeys and for the maintenance of the health of the people, since they are common animals in captivity. The study reports a case of parasitism by Spirura sp. in an adult Common marmoset found in the Zona da Mata region of Paraíba state. Spirura sp. was identified in the final portion of the esophagus of a Sagittarian corpse that was donated for anatomical study by the Paraíba Wild Animal Triage Center.
