[A survey of the prevalence of Anatrichosoma sp. in nasal cavities of cynomolgus monkeys].
Microscopic examination of 45 nasal swab samples of cynomolgus monkeys revealed that three of them were positive for Anatrichosoma sp. In the tissue sections of nasal mucosa collected from positive monkeys, female worms were consistently seen in the stratified squamous epithelial layer of the nasal mucosa. Epithelial layer thickening and parakeratosis were evident in nasal mucosa adjacent to female worms. Male worms were consistently seen in the submucosa and chronic inflammatory reactions was observed around them.
