%X this study describes significant levels of trade of night monkeys (aotus nancymaae, a. vociferans and a. nigriceps) at the brazil-colombia-peru tri-border area for the malaria biomedical research market. interviews with 43 traders/collectors from the three countries suggest that for the period 2007-2008, around 4000 night monkeys were traded. census at 8 localities in peru and colombia reported contrasting population density estimates for aotus (peru: 3,6 ind/km2; colombia: 44 ind/ km2). it is critical for cites regulations to be enforced at the 3 countries in order to curb the decline of wild populations of aotus and the degradation of their habitat.
