Loads of GI parasites in the free\u2010ranging rhesus macaques living in close proximity to communities in Bangladesh are still unknown. To estimate the prevalence and diversity of zoonotic GI parasites in rhesus macaques of Bangladesh, a total of 182 freshly voided fecal samples were collected from macaques living in rural (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200967), peri\u2010urban (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200957), urban (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200928), and Safari park (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200930) between October 2015 and December 2016. All samples were tested by direct smear, sedimentation, flotation, and the McMaster techniques. A total of fourteen different taxa of GI parasites were detected, revealing an overall prevalence of 54.4% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200999; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 46.9\u201361.8). The prevalence of GI parasites was found to be significantly correlated with the mean parasitic taxa per individual in a group (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.90;<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the overall prevalence of GI parasites in macaques was significantly higher in those inhabiting rural areas (62.69%; odds ratio [OR]: 7.22;<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001) and in macaques with interactions with other animals (60.98%; OR: 5.49;<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005). Our results also indicated that the prevalence of<jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic>spp. and<jats:italic>Balantidium coli<\/jats:italic>infections varied significantly between land gradients. Our results also indicate that macaques frequently visit human settlements for food and are found interacting with domestic animals. In conclusion, the high prevalence of zoonotic GI parasite infection in rhesus macaques found in our study may pose a significant public health risk to communities, particularly in rural areas of Bangladesh. Health promotion to at\u2010risk communities focusing on limiting contact with rhesus macaques is necessary to mitigate potential zoonotic transmission.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajp.23345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]],"date-time":"2021-11-16T03:45:02Z","timestamp":1637034302000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Prevalence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites in free\u2010ranging rhesus macaques (<i>Macaca mulatta<\/i>) in different land gradients of Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"84","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1986-4960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shariful","family":"Islam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) Dhaka Bangladesh"},{"name":"EcoHealth Alliance New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7761-9846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md.
