title: Flexible fiberoptic proctoscopy compared with fecal examination techniques for diagnosis of Prosthenorchis infection in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus).
abstract: Using flexible fiberoptic proctoscopy, diagnosis of Prosthenorchis infection in 17 squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) was correct 100% of the time. Fecal examination by formalin-ether sedimentation and sodium nitrate flotation were 68% and 10% diagnostically correct, respectively.
