  • Gastrointestinal Parasites of Captive and Free-Living Lemurs and Domestic Carnivores in Eastern Madagascar
    Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine 47(1): 141–149, 2016 Copyright 2016 by American Association of Zoo Veterinarians GASTROINTESTINAL PARASITES OF CAPTIVE AND FREE-LIVING LEMURS AND DOMESTIC CARNIVORES IN EASTERN MADAGASCAR Amy B. Alexander, D.V.M., Cle´mence Poirotte, D.V.M., Ingrid J. Porton, M.S., Karen L.M. Freeman, Ph.D., Fidisoa Rasambainarivo, D.V.M., M.S., Kimberly G. Olson, R.V.T., Bernard Iambana, and Sharon L. Deem, D.V.M., Ph.D., Dipl. A.C.Z.M. Abstract: Fecal samples from captive and free-living lemurs at Ivoloina Zoological Park (IZP) and domestic carnivores from six villages surrounding IZP were evaluated between July and August 2012. Free-living lemurs from Betampona Natural Reserve (BNR), a relatively pristine rainforest fragment 40 km away, were also evaluated in November 2013. All 33 dogs sampled (100%) and 16 of 22 cats sampled (72.7%) were parasitized, predominantly with nematodes (strongyles, ascarids, and spirurids) as well as cestodes and protozoans. Similar types of parasites were identified in the lemur populations. Identification of spirurid nematodes and protozoans in the lemur fecal samples were of concern due to previously documented morbidity and mortality in lemurs from these parasitic agents. Twelve of 13 free-living (93%) and 31 of 49 captive (63%) lemurs sampled at IZP had a higher parasite prevalence than lemurs at BNR, with 13 of 24 (54%) being parasitized. The lemurs in BNR are likely at risk of increased exposure to these parasites and, therefore, increased morbidity and mortality, as humans and their domestic animals are encroaching on this natural area.

They are subject to change. MADAGASCAR ~ AN OVERVIEW Madagascar split off from the African continent 80 million years ago to form the world’s fourth largest island. It’s a living laboratory for evolution, where the adventurous traveler can explore its diverse landscape of spiny desert, tropical moist and dry forests, and mountainous terrain in search of Madagascar’s renowned odd creatures and botanical marvels. The vast majority of its flora and fauna are endemic, meaning they exist nowhere else in the world. These include more than 100 species of lemurs. The most endangered tortoise in the world, Angokoka—commonly known as ploughshare—and many unusual birds, frogs and chameleons all make their home in a country with a unique blend of Asian and African cultures. Marco Polo first reported the island’s existence. Throughout the centuries, embattled African slaves, intrepid Indian and Portuguese traders, European pirates, and French colonists arrived at its shores, eventually establishing 18 official “tribes.” During our travels, we’ll discover the creative spirit of the Malagasy people expressed in their thoughtful and colorful monuments honoring their ancestors. As we traverse this beautiful island paradise of contrasting arid and tropical landscapes, we’ll discover the gift of Malagasy hospitality along with a vast store of incomparable memories.

  • New Species and Species Reports of Croton L. (Euphorbiaceae) from the Eastern Forest Corridor of Madagascar
    New species and species reports of Croton L. (Euphorbiaceae) from the eastern forest corridor of Madagascar Kent Kainulainen, Benjamin van Ee, Patrice Antilahimena, Hanta Razafindraibe & Paul E. Berry Abstract KNUAI LAINEN, K., B. VAN EE, P. ANTILAHIMENA, H. RAZAFINDRAIBE & P.E.BERRY (2016). New species and species reports of Croton L. (Euphorbiaceae) from the eastern forest corridor of Madagascar. Candollea 71 : 327-356. In English, English and French abstracts. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.15553/c2016v712a17 Six species of Croton from the Moramanga District of the Alaotra-Mangoro Region of eastern Madagascar (Toamasina Prov.) are newly described here, five of which occur in the Ambatovy mining concession. A seventh new species is described from the Ankerana Forest in the Atsinanana Region, some 80 km to the northeast of the town of Moramanga, which is one of the offset areas intended to mitigate the deforestation incurred by the Ambatovy mining project. Of the new species, Croton ferricretus Kainul., B.W. van Ee & P.E. Berry is the one most closely associated with the ultramafic soils where nickel and cobalt is being extracted. Although it is locally common, it is only known from the mine concession. Croton enigmaticus P.E. Berry & B.W. van Ee is considerably less common on the mine concession but is also known from two other sites. Croton droguetioides Kainul. & Radcl.-Sm. is known from Ambatovy and three other areas in the Alaotra-Mangoro Region, and Croton radiatus P.E. Berry & Kainul. is known only from forests on the Ambatovy mining concession and from the area of Zahamena National Park.

    ISSN 0898-6207 PRIMATE CONSERVATION The Journal of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group Number 19 2003 Primate Conservation is produced and circulated courtesy of the Margot Marsh Biodiversity Founda- tion, the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science at Conservation International, the Los Angeles Zoo, and the Department of Anatomical Sciences of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. ISSN 0898-6207 Abbreviated title: Primate Conserv. June 2003 Front cover. Although Sri Lankan red lorises are far from cryptic, this flowering bush makes a scenic hiding place for this adult female Loris tardigradus tardigradus from Pitigala, Galle District. Photograph by K. A. I. Nekaris. A Word from the Chairman This, the 19th issue of Primate Conservation, has suffered a long delay in publication, arising to some extent from the increasingly significant role of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group newsletters (African Primates, Asian Primates, Lemur News and Neotropical Primates), which are themselves evolving into journals in their own right, but also related to uncertainty as to its future. Its production is informal, and each issue requires funding in direct competition with the newsletters. Primate Conservation has played a key role in allowing for the publication of highly significant conservation-related research, most especially distribution and status surveys, which were difficult to publish elsewhere, and with the added advantage of it being distributed for free. Today, however, the more formal subscription journals, notably the International Journal of Primatology, the official journal of the International Primatological Society (IPS), increasingly publish conservation-related research (note IJPs earmarking of the aye-aye with its “Vivamus” sign).
