| Popis | Fresh feaces of Pongo abelii, inhabiting the Langhat area, North Sumatra, was collected during 2000 to 2002 and investigated for presence of nematodes. In total 112 pinworms (2 males and 110 females) were found. So far, following nematode species, Enterobius buckleyi Sandosham, 1950; E. foecunda (Linstow, 1879); E. simiae (MacCallum, 1921) determine as nomen dubium by Inglis (1961), were recorded as parasites of the family Pongidae. According to Skrjabin et al. (1960), also E. anthropopitheci (Gedoelst, 1916) parasitized the Pongidae, however other author’s findings indicated that this nematode infected only chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Based on morphology, host specificity and geographical distribution, all the species named above belong to the genus Enterobius (see Hugot 1996). |
