Abstract
The primate fauna of the Impenetrable (Bwindi) Forest in southwest Uganda includes both man and the mountain gorilla Gorilla gorilla beringei. The intestinal parasite faunas of these two species were described by examining faecal samples. Of 16 parasites in the combined fauna only one, Strongyloides fuelleborni, was shared by both host species.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
