title: The intestinal entodiniomorph ciliates of wild lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Gabon, West Africa.
abstract: Examination of 109 fecal samples from wild lowland gorillas revealed the presence of five species of entodiniomorph ciliates: Troglodytella abrassarti, Troglodytella gorillae, and three unclassified species. These latter three species were also found in the feces of a captive gorilla in Gabon and are considered to be intestinal parasites or commensals.
