title: Hepatocystis parasitemia in wild Kenya vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops).
abstract: Blood smears of 159 vervet monkeys from three sites in Kenya were stained with Giemsa and examined for Hepatocystis parasites. The populations differ in incidence of parasitemia, ranging from 0-62% affected individuals. These differences are probably due to altitude and local environmental conditions.
