Analysis reveals high prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in free-ranging macaques and langurs, highlighting zoonotic risks in urban areas.

Overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was 74.15%, with helminths being more common than protozoans.
The most prevalent parasite identified was Trichuris sp., found in 48.63% of fecal samples.
Observational analysis across Dharan, eastern Nepal, utilized direct wet mount and flotation techniques on 89 fecal samples.
Findings emphasize the need for public health interventions and improved waste management to mitigate zoonotic risks.
