In this study, faecal samples (n = 349) from the Olive baboon, the Mona monkey and the Black-and-white colobus monkey from two distinct geographical areas outside the human

In the present study, we compared morphologically adult Oesophagostomum bifurcum (order Strongylida: Oesophagostominae) from human and non-human primates from Ghana in order

In this study, we exploited the high resolution capacity of PCR-coupled single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) to screen for sequence variation in part of the cytochrome
