Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on hepatobiliary platynosomosis (HP) caused by the parasite Platynosomum illiciens in black-tufted marmosets in Central Brazil, analyzing autopsy data from 2006 to 2021 to understand its impact on both captive and free-ranging populations.
  • - Results show that 10.8% of black-tufted marmosets autopsied had HP, with a significantly higher prevalence in captive marmosets (49.6%) compared to free-ranging ones (6.5%), particularly during the wet season.
