- Three parks in North-east Thailand are home to long-tailed macaques, where overfeeding by humans increases interactions and the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) parasite infections among the animals.
- A study analyzed 300 fecal samples from these macaques, finding that approximately 66.67% were infected with various GI parasites, with the highest prevalence at Dong Ling Don Chao Pu Park.
- The research highlights the need for effective One Health approaches to manage these infections, as common helminths and protozoal infections pose risks to both the macaques and potentially humans.
