Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The objectives of this study were to compare diversity of intestinal parasites of wild and semi-wild orangutans, under factors influencing their intensity and occurrence. Eight protozoan parasites species were found together with nine metazoan parasites. The prevalence and its seasonal distribution will be presented together with relationship between parasites and season. The variability in parasite community composition is driven by seasonal gradient. Higher prevalence of metazoan parasites was found in semi-wild orangutans than in wild ones. All protozoa recorded at a higher prevalence in wild orangutans were non-pathogenic.

In Czech

Cílem studie bylo srovnání diverzity střevních parazitů divokých a polodivokých orangutanů vlivem faktorů ovlivňujících jejich intenzitu a výskyt.
