Köndgen et al. 2008 Also Tranquilli et al. 2014

Positive Presence through Tourism & Research

as most effective Conservation Strategy

Health Monitoring Program: Four main objectives

I

Disease Prevention: Improved Human Health & Reduced Risk of (Inter-species) Disease Transmission

III

Rapid Response: to Disease Outbreaks & Veterinary Emergencies or Interventions

II

Routine Health Monitoring: Regular Collection of Samples & Observational Health Data

IV

Diagnosis and Investigation: of Disease Outbreaks and Wildlife Fatalities & Disease and Pathogen Research

Hygiene Rules

Health Rules

Potentially: Vaccination of great apes

Health status baseline at time of hire and annual physical exams

Ongoing surveillance & response

Routine Vaccination, deworming

Extension of EHP to family members

Page 8: One Health and Conservation Strategies

Two Main Components:

I Regular collection & preservation of biological samples + Feces + Urine + Throat swabs from human project staff and visitors + Minimally invasive samples from animal carcasses

II Regular observations & recording of observational health data + Presence / Absence of disease symptoms, injuries, abnormalities (coughing, nasal discharge, diarrhea..)

Diagnosis and Investigation

+ Disease outbreaks and death: Necropsy/Tissue sampling by full trained and equipped veterinarian + Rapid and On-site Laboratory Analysis of samples allows the detection & diagnosis of many pathogens (Ebola, Anthrax, Respiratory viruses,…) • Portable Field Labs established since 2012 equiped for: - sample processing - DNA/RNA extraction - standard PCR - basic parasitology including microscopy

Treatments during respiratory outbreaks

Studied prevalence of pathogens in environment

Sensitized local population to prevent disease

transmission and provided alert to health authorities

Vaccination Campaigns against Measals & Anthrax

Need for Rapid Diagnosis & Treatment & Research on:

oral vaccines, effectiveness of hygiene measures, anthropogenic

impacts on disease dynamics, landscape changes…

Outbreak Intervention & Investigation

IMPACT:

Early warning system for

deadly infectious diseases

such as Ebola.

Improved health and

hygiene status in local

population.

Main threat to the survival

of great apes is significantly

reduced.
