捕获的非人灵长类动物的寄生虫通常比野外研究和野生捕获的灵长类动物的寄生虫更有限。圈养的灵长类动物包括动物园、实验室动物设施和私人收藏或宠物。关在室内的灵长类动物通常很少有寄生虫，而且很容易被消灭。室外住宅在破坏寄生虫的生命周期方面存在问题，特别是那些具有无脊椎中间宿主的寄生虫。土壤和基质的净化也使得完全消除寄生虫几乎是不可能的。对于户外饲养的灵长类动物和那些在社会环境中，控制可以通过定期检查和适当的抗寄生虫药物管理。由于许多寄生虫具有人畜共患病的潜力，从业人员必须保持警惕，并教育护理人员了解寄生虫的生命周期和卫生程序。
Parasites of captive nonhuman primates generally are more limited than those reported for field studies and in wild-caught primates. Captive primates include those in zoos, laboratory animal facilities, and private collections or pets. Primates kept indoors generally have few parasites, and those are easily eliminated. Outdoor housing presents problems in breaking life cycles of parasites, particularly those with invertebrate intermediate hosts. Decontamination of soils and substrates also makes total elimination of parasites nearly impossible. For outdoor-housed primates and those in social settings, control can be achieved through regular examination and appropriate administration of antiparasite medication. Because many of the parasites have zoonotic potential, practitioners must be vigilant and educate caretakers about the parasite life cycle and sanitation procedures.
