  • Title: Botfly parasitism and tourism on the endangered black howler monkey of Belize.
    Author: Treves A, Carlson AE.
    Journal: J Med Primatol; 2012 Aug; 41(4):284-7. PubMed ID: 22762861.
    Abstract:
    Tourism imposes costs and benefits on wild primates. Endangered black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) troops with high exposure to tourism had higher levels of botfly (Alouattamyia baeri) parasitism. Edge habitat and juvenile numbers did not seem to confound the observed relationship. To improve the cost/benefit ratio of tourism, we recommend further investigation.
