Five species of intestinal parasites were including one entodiniomorph ciliate (Trogodytella sp.) and five nematodes (Trichuris sp., hookworms, Strongyloides fuelleborni, Oesophagostomum sp., and Ascaris sp.); besides, four different types of unidentified eggs were found, three of them were trematodes and one was a nematode. Exclusion of the ciliate Troglodytella which is a possible symbiont of African apes leaves Oesophagostomum sp. as the most prevalent real parasite. Most of the animals were infected with one to three parasite. If we exclude the suggested symbiont ciliate, most animals were infected by two or less parasite species.
