One adult syngamid nematode parasite couple was found during routine clinical observation in quarantine at the former Bohorok Rehabilitation Station from sputum of Pongo abelli and determined as Mammomonogamus laryngeus [Railliet, A., 1899. Syngame laryngieu du boeuf. Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances et Mémoires de la Société de Biologie 11, 18-21]. This finding confirmed previous record of ova and adult syngamid nematodes, determined by Collet et al. [Collet, J.-Z., Galdikas, B.M.F., Sugarjito, J., Jojosudharmo, S., 1986. A coprological study of parasitism in orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) in Indonesia. Journal of Medical Primatology 15, 121-129] as Mammomonogamus sp. only, in orangutans kept in the Bohorok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (Northern Sumatra, Indonesia) and presented a serious health hazard to rehabilitants in this locality. Morphometrical features and the first description of the parasite from orang-utan were presented and documented. Coprological monitoring of infection in rehabilitants in this area as well as among the wild population of orangutan is necessary.

Article Synopsis
- Mammomonogamus spp. are permanent copulatory nematode parasites that affect the respiratory tracts of various animals, including cattle and goats, with rare cases reported in humans, mainly among farmworkers in the Caribbean and Brazil.
- Recent research from Marajó, Brazil, involved the recovery of these parasites from the laryngopharyngeal area of water buffalo, using multiple microscopy techniques to analyze their structures and the damage caused to host tissues.
- The study provided detailed morphological descriptions of the parasites, highlighting features such as their specialized mouth for tissue adherence and reproductive structures, enhancing our understanding of their biology and effects on infected hosts.

Introduction: Mammomonogamus laryngeus is a nematode parasite that is usually found in the larynx of mammals in the tropics, especially in cattle, sheep and cats.
Objective: The prevalence of M. laryngeus was determined in cattle brought to an abattoir as an indicator of its prevalence in the general population.

We describe a case of syngamosis in a 43-year-old Italian tourist presenting with chronic cough and episodes of haemoptysis upon return from the Caribbean. The patient underwent many diagnostic procedures and was repeatedly, yet unsuccessfully, treated (for asthma, bronchitis and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) before the correct diagnosis was reached. During a fibre optic bronchoscopy a Y-shaped red object was extracted from the airways and identified as a pair of Mammomonogamus laryngeus.
