Project name: Endotrypanum monterogeii
Description: Infection with Endotrypanum appears to be restricted to edentates, principally of forest-dwelling two-toed sloths of the genus Choloepus, but rarer infections with these flagellates seems to occur in three-toed sloths. In nature, Endotrypanum parasites are probably transmitted by the bite of infected phlebotomine sandflies.
