Entopolypoides macaci Mayer, 1934 in the African baboon (Papio cynocephalus L. 1766).

: Entopolypoides maaci occurs in different populations of Papio cynocephalus in Kenya, but not in the same host with Hepatocystis kochi. Parasitemia may be greatly enhanced by splenectomy, but there is little effect on the host in spite of substantial alteration in hemoglobin and RBC counts, and transferability to other primates is erratic. Descriptions are presented for differentiation of E. macaci from H. kochi.
