摘要
Parasites have been investigated for some New World primates; however, very little is known about ectoparasites and specifically fur mites. In this study, Alouatta palliata, Cebus capucinus, Saimiri oerstedii, and Ateles geoffroyi monkeys from different areas of Costa Rica were searched for fur mites. A total of 276 monkeys were evaluated, and 51 of them were positive for mites of the family Atopomelidae. Listrocarpus alouattae was identified on 22.3% of A. palliata; Listrocarpus capucinus on 12.8% of C. capucinus; and Listrocarpus costaricensis on 36.8% of S. oerstedii; No fur mites were found on A. geoffroyi. Sex was not considered a determinant of mite infestation, but prevalence was significantly higher in the Central Volcanic Mountain Range Conservation Area for L. alouattae (p=0.01) and in the Central Pacific Conservation Area for L. capucinus (p=0.002). These primate fur mites are highly host-specific. Differences in the geographical distribution may be due to monkey behavior and history, as well as to environmental conditions. Rev. Biol.

寄生虫研究已进行了一些新的世界灵长类动物;然而，很少有人知道体外寄生虫，特别皮毛螨。在这项研究中，Alouatta palliata，卷尾capucinus，松鼠oerstedii和Ateles geoffroyi哥斯达黎加不同领域的猴子进行了全面搜查皮毛螨。共有276只猴子进行了评价，其中有51个是积极为家庭Atopomelidae的螨虫。 Listrocarpus alouattae被认定对A. palliata的22.3％; Listrocarpus capucinus对C. capucinus的12.8％;和Listrocarpus costaricensis对S. oerstedii 36.8％;无苔螨虫被发现的A. geoffroyi。性别不被视为螨为害的决定因素，但患病率显著高于中部火山山脉保护区为L. alouattae（P \x3d 0.01）和中央太平洋保护区为L. capucinus（P \x3d 0.002）。这些灵长类动物的皮毛是螨虫高度主机特定的。在地理分布的差异，可能是由于猴行为和历史，以及对环境条件。牧师生物学。特罗普。57（1-2）：353-360。 EPUB 6月30日2009年。
