Abstract
Non-human primates can be reservoirs and carriers of diseases transmitted to humans. The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic bibliographical review on parasitosis with zoonotic potential that affect the genus Alouatta. In the period 2010-2021 the genders were registered: Ascaris, Ancylostoma, Bertiella, Strongyloides, Oesophagostomum, Trichostrongylus and Trichuris, and Bertiella sp. was the zoonotic parasite with the most reports. The southeast region had the greatest diversity of helminths, with six of the seven (6/7) genera of helminths with zoonotic potential, in Alouatta. Knowledge of the epidemiology and biological cycle can contribute to the prevention of parasitic zoonoses transmitted by contact between non-human primates and humans.
