  • EPIDEMIOLOGY of SELECTED INFECTIOUS DISEASES in ZOO-UNGULATES: SINGLE SPECIES VERSUS MIXED SPECIES EXHIBITS Carolina Probst
    EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SELECTED INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN ZOO-UNGULATES: SINGLE SPECIES VERSUS MIXED SPECIES EXHIBITS Carolina Probst, DVM,* Heribert Hofer, MSc, PhD, Stephanie Speck, DVM, PhD, and Kai Frölich, DVM, PhD1 Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Alfred-Kowalke Strasse 17, 10315 Berlin, Germany Reprinted with permission. American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2005. Joint Annual Conference. Abstract The study analyses the epidemiology of selected infectious diseases of 65 different species within the four families of bovids, cervids, camelids and equids in one czech and nine German zoos. It is based on a survey of all epidemiologic data since 1998. Furthermore 900 blood samples taken between 1998 and 2005 are screened for the presence of antibodies against selected viral and bacterial pathogens. The results are linked to the epidemiologic data. Introduction The concept of mixed species exhibits increasingly becomes important in European zoos. It is an important form of behavioral enrichment, it optimizes the use of space and it is of great educational value for visitors, giving them an impression of ecological connections. But until now it has not been elucidated whether the kind of exhibit may lead to an increase in the prevalence of specific infections. The aims of this study are to evaluate the exposure of zoo-ungulates to a variety of disease pathogens that can be transmitted between different species and to assess the epidemiology of mixed exhibits. We are interested in the following questions: 1. Which selected infectious agents are zoo ungulates exposed to? 2. What is the seroprevalence against these agents? 3. Is there a correlation between seroprevalence and the following factors: - animal exhibition system (single species / mixed species exhibit) - population density and animal movements - interspecific contact rates 4.

  • The Odyssey of Michael Werikhe
    Water Watch, Part II In March, our Zoological Society reached an unprecedented member­ ship level of 194,344 households. With an additional 84,826 children members in Koala Club, that represents a combined total of 427,000 people, or about one-quarter of the population of San Diego. Surveys have told us that the primary purpose for joining the Society is that membership offers a great recreational and educational value. Rated almost as high, however, is the desire to support our conservation­ oriented organization. One area of conservation that merits every member's attention this year is water conservation. It is not easy to give up what we often take for granted-plenty of water to meet our needs-but the Zoo and Park are ready to meet Mayor Maureen O'Connor's target of reducing water use to 50 percent below the 1989 level. At the Zoo, we reduced our use by 36 percent last year, so we have another 14 percent to go. It is not clear as of this writing if the Park will be mandated at a 30 or 50 percent level because it is in an agricultural zone; however, water conservation task forces at both facilities are looking at every way to conserve that does not negatively impact the health of our animals, plants, visitors, or employees. Some of the things we plan to do immediately at the Zoo include turning off the flamingo lagoon fountain, turning off the waterfall in "REGISTRAR Fem Canyon, and draining the Children's Zoo entry pool. In fact, ev­ ery water element is being considered either for elimination, for the duration of the drought, or treatment in a long-term, water-conserving way.

  • DRILL INFO Issue 11, January 2011 Dear Members, Dear Friends of the Drill
    DRILL INFO Issue 11, January 2011 Dear members, dear friends of the Drill, First of all we want to wish you a happy new year. We hope you all had a pleasant and peaceful Christmas. In this issue we want to inform you about great fundraising campaigns for the drills. We also want to inform you about the conservation status of the drill on Bioko Island. Enjoy reading it. Your editorial team Sumbo Male Drill “Sumbo” from “Erlebnis-Zoo-Hanover” dead The head of the Drill family of Hanover zoo had to be euthanized on October 11th 2010 after a long disease. 2004 “Sumbo” was diagnosed for typ-1-diabetes. The keepers were able to train him to tolerate daily insulin injections and to get urine samples from to him to measure the blood glucose. Thanks to this perfect collaboration between “Sumbo” and the keepers the male recovered and became famous nationwide. Unfortunately his health status became worst in the beginning of 2010. It became more and more difficult to adjust the insulin and “Sumbo” started to suffer under the side effects of this disease, like loss of weight and neuropathy. In October the hard decision to release him from his suffering had to be made. “Sumbo” came to Hanover in February 2001 from the Zoo Rabat/Morocco to follow up the successful breeding tradition. Most important is the fact, that “Sumbo” was born 1991 in the wild and hence is not related to the captive Drills living in Europe. He fulfilled the expectations in Hanover and fathered 17 offspring in total, who are now for example living in Spain and England.

An indirect and a competitive ELISA served as screening methods, positive and inconclusive samples were confirmed by Western blot. Of the zoo animals sampled between 1992 and 2007 (n=1122), three (0.3%) were seropositive. The seroconversion of a hippopotamus in Berlin Zoo was documented. From 1353 serum samples of wild foxes (Vulpes vulpes), raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and wild boars (Sus scrofa), collected between 2005 and 2009 in the federal state of Brandenburg (surrounding Berlin), a total of 101 (7.5%) tested positive for antibodies to F. tularensis lipopolysaccharide. Our results indicate a higher seroprevalence of F. tularensis in wildlife in eastern Germany than commonly assumed. Furthermore, we found foxes and raccoon dogs to be biological indicators for tularaemia.

    DRILL INFO Issue 15, January 2013 Dear Members and Friends of the Drill, Apologies for the delay in this new issue of the Drill Info! Events in Cameroon and Nigeria were exceptionally challenging in the last few weeks. In Nigeria, heavy rainfall destroyed large areas of the Drill Ranch - to rebuild will take a lot of time and money. From Cameroon Dr. Ainare Indoiaga asked us recently for urgent financial help: A new battery for the electric fence around the drill enclosure is more than necessary in Limbe Wildlife Center. Due to your membership and donations it is possible for us to provide fast and effective help to the drills in Africa this year. Many thanks for that! Please read what has happened in the last six months to the drills: Good things come to those who wait! How the work clothes from the Erlebnis Zoo Hannover reached the Drill-Ranch in Nigeria after years. The story started in 2007. In June 2007 Kathrin Paulsen first leader of Save the Drill and primate keeper at Hanover Zoo was asked by Dr. Heiner Engel, zoological director Hanover Zoo, if Save the Drill would be interested in the old working clothes of the zoo for the drill projects in Africa. The zoo was changing the layout and all keepers were getting new uniforms. Of course, she agreed, but at this time nobody from Save the Drill had an idea of how and when to organize a transfer to Nigeria. With short notice a storage place was needed in Germany. The animal park in Nordhorn, managed by Thomas Old layoute Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover Berling at the time, kindly offered to help.

  • Viewed Repeatedly for Completeness, Minimizing the Problem of Reduced Intraobserver Reliability Due to Fatigue
    INFORMATION TO USERS The most advanced technology has been used to photo­ graph and reproduce this manuscript from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are re­ produced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.
