There are previous reports of myiasis affecting wild primates in Central and South America; however, information about botfly parasitism in Peruvian primates is scarce. We present data from two Cebidae primate specimens: a rescued large-headed capuchin monkey (Sapajus macrocephalus) housed at Taricaya Rescue Center, in Tambopata, Peru, and a free-ranging white-fronted capuchin monkey (Cebus albifrons aequatorialis) inhabiting Cerros de Amotape National Park. The first specimen had a larva identified as Dermatobia hominis, whereas Cuterebra baeri larvae infested the second. In both cases we initially identified the parasite species through their morphologic features before confirming the identification with genetic analysis through the cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene sequencing of the larvae. Further field studies on the primate-parasite dynamics are needed to understand the impact of botfly myiasis on primate populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-21-00175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,25]],"date-time":"2022-04-25T08:47:37Z","timestamp":1650876457000},"page":"415-420","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Botfly Parasitism on Two Primates of the Cebidae Family in Peru"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Fernando","family":"Vilchez-Delgado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Avenida Honorio Delgado 430, San Martin de Porres, Lima 15102, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis Fernando","family":"Ram\u00edrez-Montano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Entomolog\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Calle Germ\u00e1n Am\u00e9zaga 375, Lima 15081, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiomara","family":"Merino-Merino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Avenida Honorio Delgado 430, San Martin de Porres, Lima 15102, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renzo R.","family":"Ojeda-Ju\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Biodiversidad Sostenible (BioS), Avenida San Martin 278, Urb, Clarke, Piura 20001, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maximiliano H.","family":"Espinoza-Rom\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Biolog\u00eda Tropical y Conservaci\u00f3n (CINBIOTYC), Asentamiento Humano Almirante Miguel Grau, II Etapa, Mz E, lote 16 (2do piso), Piura 20004, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandra","family":"Duarte-Quiroga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Conservation Institute, 156 County Road 113, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87596, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"O Calder\u00f3n-Arguedas, A Troyo, ME Solano, et al.  \"Neotrop Primates.\"  12, \"Infecci\u00f3n por larvas de Alouattamyia baeri (Diptera: Cuterebridae) en monos aulladores, Alouatta palliata (Primates: Cebidae) de la costa caribe de Costa Rica.\" 21 (2004)","DOI":"10.62015\/np.2004.v12.566"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"EP.
