Short summary
Fongoli (Kedougou, Senegal) is a hot and dry area with a habituated group of chimpanzees. There are many anthropogenic activities, such as mining exploitation and deforestation. As a result, the possibilities of zoonosis circulation between humans and wild animals are great. This situation has motivated our interest to conduct this study on the gastrointestinal systems of chimpanzees in order to reduce the prevalence of invasive zoonoses at this site.
