title: Macaca mulatta--a new host for Choanotaenia cestodes.
abstract: A juvenile Macacca mulatta that died following a peracute illness was found to be harboring about 25 mature Choanotaenia infundibulum tapeworms. These cestodes commonly infest birds, occasionally insectivores and rodents but have never been reported in nonhuman primates.
