Abstract: During necropsy of a specimen of Lagothrix cana (É. Geoffroy, 1812) (Primates: Atelidae) from the Brazilian Amazon, pinworms were found in the large intestine. The intensity of infection was 64 parasites (17 males and 47 females) and there were no gross pathological changes related to parasitism. After morphological analysis the parasites were identified as Trypanoxyuris (Paraoxyuronema) lagothricis (Buckley, 1931) (Nematoda: Oxyuridae). This is the first record of this oxyurid species in primates in Brazil.

“…can be distinguished easily from T. (T.) callicebi and T. (T.) croizati , which have a hexagonal shaped cephalic-tray and a mouth opening bounded by three lips that partially cover the teeth. We also emphasize a small ornate subtooth in the ventral part of each oesophageal tooth, as reported in the studies by Hugot et al (1996) and Pinto et al (2013), and now observed in detail through scanning microscopy of our specimens.…”

“…The close evolutionary relationship between humans and other primates means that their parasite faunas are also similar and the possibility of cross-infection makes the identification of new species relevant to human medicine. In recent years the number of known species in the genus Trypanoxyuris has increased, adding Trypanoxyuris (P.) lagothricis and Trypanoxyuris (T.) minutus (Souza et al, 2010; Trejo-Macías et al, 2011; Pinto et al, 2013), which show interesting morphological variation and different geographical ranges compared to previously known species, such as Trypanoxyuris (T.) croizati and T. (T.) callicebi (Hugot et al, 1994).…”

“…It is notable that investigators have reported a different species of Trypanoxyuris as a parasite of Lagothrix lagotricha, i.e., T. lagothricis Buckley, 1931 [22,28], and that host-specificity has been argued to be a general feature for oxyurids infecting primates, where a pinworm species is often specific to one genus of primates [10].…”

“…Esses dados estão de acordo com aqueles descritos por Tavela et al (2013), que afirmam ser esse um dos helmintos mais frequentes nesse gênero de primata. Em bugios (Alouatta guariba), o helminto mais prevalente foi Trypanoxyuris minutus (77,8%), o qual costuma ser frequentemente relatado em estudos realizados com primatas, como pôde ser observado por Amato et al (2002) e Pinto et al (2013).…”
