ABSTRACT
Balantioides coli (=Balantidium coli), a large ciliated protozoan, is reported in multiple free-ranging and captive primate species, often in association with a clinical presentation that requires medical intervention. This report describes the clinical effectiveness of paromomycin sulfate against B.coli in zoo-kept mandrill monkeys (Mandrillus sphinx, at orally doses of 8-31 mg/kg, once daily (SID) for 7 days) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla, at orally doses of 1.4-3.1 mg/kg, SID for 5 days).
