Highlights
Several kinds of gastrointestinal parasites were reported in both captive and non-captive primates in the world (Brack, 1987; Bruno et al, 2007; Hendricks, 1977; Muriuki et al, 1998; Soulsby, 1982; Tachibana et al, 2009)
In Sri Lanka few studies have been carried out on identifying the gastrointestinal parasites in the primates and only handful of publications available on the captive animals in the zoo (e.g. Amarasinghe et al, 2009) while there are few on non-captive fauna in the zoo premises (Karunarathna et al, 2007; 2008)
From Sri Lankan primates helminthes protozoa are reported in Macaca sinica (Dewit et al, 1991; Ekanayake et al, 2004) in the wild
