Group Global infection rate (%) Helminth infection rate (%) Protozoa infection rate (%)
Prosimians 37.1a 8.1a 30.6a
New world monkeys 40.0a 11.1a 34.4a
Old world monkeys 93.6b 29.8c 91.5b

Global 53.9 15.6 47.3
a

Infection rates not significantly different between groups (p < 0.05).

b

Infection rates not significantly different between groups identified with a “b” but significantly greater than groups identified with an “a” and significantly lower than those identified with a “c” (if applicable) (p < 0.05).

c

Infection rates significantly greater than groups identified with an “a” or “b” (p < 0.05).
