- •
We provide molecular evidence of Paragonimus sp. infection in African wildlife.
- •
P. africanus in primates is 100% identical to humans at the ITS2 region.
- •
Coughing in wild primates can indicate infection with lung flukes.
- •
We offer a method for surveillance of wildlife for potentially zoonotic lung flukes.
