We employed a novel molecular diagnostic platform to detect enteric infections in wild chimpanzees and gorillas. Prevalent Cryptosporidium parvum, adenovirus, and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli across divergent sites and species demonstrates potential widespread circulation among apes in Africa. © 2024 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). %K Animals; Cameroon; Cryptosporidiosis; Cryptosporidium; Escherichia coli; Gorilla gorilla; Pan troglodytes; Tanzania %J Emerging Infectious Diseases %V 30 %& 577 %P 577 - 580 %@ 1080-60401080-6059
