Abstract
Fecal samples from seven individuals kept in semi-captivity in Minas Gerais were subjected to microscopic and molecular parasitological techniques. Balantioides coli was identified in all samples with a predominance of an atypical variant. This is the first molecular characterization of B. coli in Brachyteles hypoxanthus in Brazil.
