  • 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.

    WESTERN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE WHITE COAT CEREMONY 2013 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY Class OF 2017 VETERINARIAN’S OATH As a member of the veterinary medical profession, I solemnly swear that I will use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society. I will strive to promote animal health and welfare, relieve animal suffering, protect the health of the public and environment, and advance comparative medical knowledge. I will practise my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I will strive continuously to improve my professional knowledge and competence and to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards for myself and the profession. 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY WHITE COAT CEREMONY For decades, western Canadian students with a passion for veterinary medicine had to leave their region to pursue their dreams. The situation changed in 1963 when Canada’s western provinces agreed to establish a regional veterinary college at the University of Saskatchewan. In 1969 the first class of veterinarians graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, and the new building was officially dedicated. Nearly 50 years later, the co-operative spirit that created the WCVM is alive and well. The College’s regional responsibilities for providing veterinary education, expertise and research are officially recognized in the Interprovincial Agreement — a unique document that is updated and renewed by the western provinces and the WCVM every five years. As a regional college, the WCVM provides veterinary education to undergraduate students who are residents of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the northern territories.

  • 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.

  • Wild Neighbours the Safety and Security of Ontario's Wildlife in Captivity Facilities
    WILD NEIGHBOURS The Safety and Security of Ontario's Wildlife in Captivity Facilities <H1> Photo caption here Tigers are dangerous animals that retain their wild instincts, and they must be treated with extreme caution. The large (and possibly growing) number of people who keep tigers is a cause for concern. There is a significant danger posed by captive tigers, even when they are cared for by professionals and held in facili- ties that take all the required safety precautions. The risk of tigers causing human injury and death is highest when this risk is underestimated, such as when tigers are kept as pets, used as a prop for photographs, or people come in direct contact with them to feed, clean cages, or pet them—with or without a cage separating people and tigers.
