Studies were conducted on 35 primates, 12 carnivores, and 2 marsupials to determine their susceptibility to the primate coccidian I. arctopitheci. Patent oocyst infections resulted in 12 of the 14 spp. of animals investigated. These included 6 genera of New World primates native to Panama: Saguinus geoffroyi, Aotus trivirgatus, Ateles fusciceps, Cebus capucinus, Alouatta villosa, and Saimiri sciureus. Individuals from 4 families of carnivores (2 domestic and 2 sylvatic) and 1 sp. of marsupial became infected following experimental exposure: Canis familiaris, Felis catus, Nasua nasua, Potos flavus, Eira barbara, and Didelphis marsupialis. Four Old World rhesus monkeys, Macaca mulatta, and 1 carnivore, Bassaricyon gabbii, did not become oocyst positive. This unusually large host range makes this isosporan unique among the coccidia investigated to date.
