Based on article research the prevalence of enteric parasites in pet macaques in Sulawesi,
Indonesia (Lisa Jones-Engel, et al., 2004), they have research on eight known macaque
species (Macaca nigra, M. nigrescens, M. hecki, M. tonkeana, M. maura, M. ochreata, M.
fascicularis, and M. nemestrina). Seven protozoan taxa and three nematode taxa were
discovered as a result of their discovery. Blastocystis hominis (found in 43%), Iodamoeba
butschlii (found in 22%), and Entamoeba coli were the most common protozoa found
(present in 14%). In addition, hookworm, Trichuris spp., and Ascaris were discovered in
feces samples of 6%, 3%, and 1% of the participants, respectively. In the meantime,
according to one study on rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Nepal (Bikram Sapkota et
al., 2020), the prevalence of protozoa was higher (90.5 %) than that of helminths (47.6 % ).
There were also 12 different intestinal parasite species found. They included protozoa such
as Entamoeba spp. (66.7 %), Balantidium coli (59.5 %), Entamoeba coli (57.1 %),
Cryptosporidium sp. (11.9 %), Eimeria sp. (7.1 %), Giardia sp. (4.8 %), and Trichomonas sp.
(2.4 %), as well as helminths such as Ascarid spp. (21.4 %) %), Strongyloides sp. (21.4%),
hookworm (19%), Trichuris sp. (14.3%), and Strongylid spp. (9.5%). All of the samples were
determined to be infected with two or more different intestinal parasite species. The most
prevalent infections were triplet (57.1%), duplet (26.2%), and quintuplet (4.8%).
According to the articles we reviewed, plasmodium is the most frequent hemoparasites

infection on macaques in this area. Six macaque species have been discovered in Thailand
(Wirasak Fungfuang, et al., 2004): M. fascicularis, M. nemestrina, the northern pig-tailed
macaque (M. leonina), the rhesus macaque (M. mulatta), the stump-tailed macaque (M.
arctoides), and the Assamese macaque (M. arctoides) (Macaca assamensis). The following
Plasmodium parasites were found in the article's results: P. knowlesi, P. inui, P. cynomolgi,
P. coatneyi, and P. fieldi. Six macaque species have been identified in Thailand: M.
fascicularis, M. nemestrina, northern pig-tailed macaque (M. leonina), rhesus macaque (M.
mulatta), stump-tailed macaque (M. arctoides), and Assamese macaque (Macaca
assamensis). The majority of malaria-positive macaques (59.3 %) had single Plasmodium
spp. infections, 33.3 % had double infections, and 7.4 % had triple infections. Overall, P. inui
was the most common species found, accounting for 35% of the malaria-positive macaques,
followed by P. fieldi (30%), P. cynomolgi (20%), P. coatneyi (12.5%), and P. knowlesi
(2.5%).
One research on pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) in Kelnatan, Malaysia, was

conducted to investigate ectoparasite infection in macaques (Solehuddin Zainol et al., 2017).
The most common ectoparasite infection evaluated was lice, followed by ticks. The
research's findings revealed that lice from the class Haematopinidae were the most often
detected in the study (82.35 %), followed by ticks (17.65 %) of all ectoparasites infected on
macaques.
