Of six parasites detected, one (Trichuris sp.) was associated with social grooming behaviors, but more specifically with direct physical contact with others. This decrease in time spent grooming and interacting with others is likely a sickness behavior displayed by individuals with less energy or motivation for non-essential behaviors. We chose Chlorocebus pygerythrus as the study species because individuals 171 exhibit variation in grooming behaviors [56] , allowing us to examine differences in the 172 relationship between social behaviors and parasite infection status. is associated 469 with behavioral differences, specifically decreased time spent grooming others and time 470 spent in direct contact with others, in vervet monkey hosts.	./cache/cord-102891-0z397ppn.txt	./txt/cord-102891-0z397ppn.txt
