6. The Scientist - Researchers Call For Collaboration On Wild Primates, Human Disea Aug. 17, 1998 http://www.the-scientist.com/yr1998/august/hoffert_p1_980817.html

The Scientist 12[16]:1, Aug. 17, 1998 News Researchers Call for Collaboration On Wild Primates, Human Diseases By Stephen P. Hoffert Chimpanzees share almost all their gene sequences with humans, and this closeness has made them ideal animal models for many human diseases. But similarities between humans and nonhuman primates go beyond genetics. Nonhuman primates are very social animals, travel long distances to find food, sometimes live on the fringes of the wild, and often become afflicted with diseases closely resembling those of humans. PREP FOR FLIGHT: Handlers prepare chimpanzee Ham, one of the NASA "astrochimps," for his Jan. 31, 1961 flight aboard the Mercury-Redstone 2 AN APPLE FOR HAM: Ham, still strapped into his special flight couch, reaches for an apple after his flight and recovery from the Atlantic Ocean. Observing these similarities, some researchers now believe that wild primate populations could serve as virtual distant early warning systems for emerging infectious diseases in humans. In a recent issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases , researchers say wild primate populations could be considered "sentinels" (N.D. Wolfe et al.

Click on the drop-down menu above to jump straight to the fascinating facts on each. There are eleven species of gibbon, two of which, the Siamang ( Hylobates syndactylus ) and the Moloch Gibbon ( Hylobates moloch ), are kept at Howletts. Gibbons are natives of South-east Asia, from Assam to Indonesia, and are all endangered by the steady destruction of their rain forest habitat. Gibbons live in monogamous family groups; when the offspring reach maturity they normally leave their parents and form new pairs to start families of their own. Males and females are about the same size, though in some species (but not the two at Howletts) they can differ strikingly in colour. Home About Us Webcams Conservation ... Others

9. Okapi Wildlife Reserve UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Okapi wildlife Reserve occupies about one fifth of the Ituri Forest in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Zaire River basin, of which the reserve and forest are a part, is one of the largest drainage systems in Africa and has yielded a large number of major evolutionary discoveries. The wildlife reserve contains threatened species of primates and birds and about 5,000 of the estimated 30,000 okapi surviving in the wild. http://www.unesco.org/whc/sites/718.htm

Okapi Wildlife Reserve Democratic Rep. of the Congo Région du Haut Zaire. Sous région de l' Ituri. 1° 0' N, 28° 2' E Inscribed : Criteria: N (iv) Justification for Inscription: Report of the 20th Session of the Committee Inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger: Justification for Inscription: Report of the 21st Session of the Committee Brief description: The Okapi Wildlife Reserve occupies about one-fifth of the Ituri forest in the north-east of Zaire. The Zaire river basin, of which the reserve and forest are a part, is one of the largest drainage systems in Africa. The reserve contains threatened species of primates and birds and about 5,000 of the estimated 30,000 okapi surviving in the wild. It also has some dramatic scenery, including waterfalls on the Ituri and Epulu rivers. The reserve is inhabited by traditional nomadic pygmy Mbuti and Efe hunters. Threats to the Site: The Committee inscribed the Okapi Wildlife Reserve on the List of World Heritage in Danger , one year after giving it World Heritage status, due to reports that the armed conflict, which spread to the eastern parts of the country in early 1997, had led to the looting of facilities and the killing of elephants in this site. Most of the staff have fled the Reserve. There have also been reports of gold mining. In the latter part of 1998 however, as a result of renewed fighting in the area, equipment donated by international conservation NGOs has been looted and the staff who were in the process of reviving conservation activities had to be evacuated.

11. ASP - Resolution Regarding Conservation Of Wild Primates that the availability of purposebred primates can never fully replace the needfor scientific access to the full-range of primates from wild populations and http://www.asp.org/society/resolutions/conservation.html

On September 10, 1993, the ASP Board of Directors approved a resolution outlining the Society's position on the conservation of wild primate populations. The text of the resolution follows: ASP Resolution Regarding Conservation of Wild Primate Populations WHEREAS, many wild populations of nonhuman primates are declining due to habitat loss associated with increasing human demands for agricultural land and forest products; and WHEREAS, eradication of primates as agricultural pests and hunting of primates for food are also contributing to the decline of wild primate populations; and WHEREAS, careless capture of nonhuman primates can threaten the viability of natural populations and result in unnecessary suffering, mortality, and wastage; and WHEREAS, the United States is the world's largest importer of nonhuman primates for scientific use and is a Party to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES); and WHEREAS, the scientific study of nonhuman primates contributes to advances in human and veterinary medicine and yields information that is essential to the conservation of wild primate populations; and WHEREAS, all primate species are listed in Appendix I or Appendix II of the Convention and the Convention recognizes that trade in species threatened with extinction should be regulated; and

13. ASP - PROTECTION OF PRIMATE HEALTH IN THE WILD Protecting the Health of wild primates. The risk of disease transmission betweenhumans and nonhuman primates has been well known for some time now. http://www.asp.org/society/resolutions/primate_health.html

Protecting the Health of Wild Primates ASP Policy Statement of Protection of Primate Health in the Wild WHEREAS many of our primate subjects are already being negatively impacted by human activities that result in destruction of their habitat and fragmentation of their populations; and WHEREAS the study of primates often involves the close proximity of the subjects, the research workers and their guides; and WHEREAS very little information is available on the presence of or exposure to infectious disease in wild primate populations; and WHEREAS evidence suggests that many primate species are susceptible to many of the pathogenic infections that afflict humans and that the transmission of infection can occur in both directions; The AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PRIMATOLOGISTS therefore RECOMMENDS: THAT field research workers consult with veterinary and medical experts to develop health and sanitation standards specific to the research site. THAT field researchers observe these prescribed health and sanitation standards throughout their research and that these standards be considered in all research proposals; THAT the health and sanitation standards apply equally to local staff and volunteers employed by the research worker and that the observance of these standards is an ethical obligation;

15. Primates In The Wild Versus Captivity The comparison of a wildcaught spot-nosed guenon and his captive-born son, which includes behavior towards family member and keepers, and neurotic tendencies. http://www.avsands.com/Misc4/spotnosedgueno_uhj_av.htm

Primates in the wild versus captivity Eventually, through the pioneering research of primatologists such as Jane Goodall and Diane Fossey, zoos began to understand the complexities of primate societies and their need for psychological stimulation. This problem was brought to my attention while I worked as a zookeeper at a zoo in Louisiana. Many species were under my care, but none stick out in my memory more than a family of spot-nosed guenons (Cercopithecus nictitans)a medium-sized, gray, arboreal primate from Central Africa, named for the white spot on their noses. bodyOffer(3165) The family was dominated by Newton, a fourteen-year-old male, who was caught in the wild in 1987, as a one-year-old. Newton shared his exhibit with his mate Britta and their three sons: Hank, Buster, and Turbo. Hank was the oldest son and became my favorite of the group. I spent all of my free time observing the behavior of the group. It was at this time that I noticed the differences between Newton and Hank. Hank was friendly to keepers, considerate to his family members, and well-adjusted to his life in captivity; Newton terrorized keepers, harassed his family members, and developed many neurotic tendencies. Although they looked exactly alike, shared the same environment, and shared half of their genetic material, they behaved nothing alike. When I approached the enclosure, which was circular and fifteen by fifteen feet, Newton would begin going through the motions of his aggression display, which included head bobs, brow lifts, and the baring of his sizeable canines; on the other hand, Hank would welcome me with a greeting chuckle unique to the species. If I got too close to the bars, Newton would grab at me aggressively and try his best to bite me. If Newton was not paying attention, Hank would groom and hug me gently through the bars, as if I were a member of the troop. When Hank’s affections were noticed by Newton, he would punish him severely with pinches, bites, and verbal chattering.

The major exception to this is a number of wild-caught monkeys used for essential neurovirulence testing and for the production of oral polio vaccine. While we recognise the ethical concerns raised by this practice, the benefits to public health are felt by GSK and regulatory authorities, to outweigh the cost to the animals. This paper is designed to address the issues and to outline GSK's research into developing alternatives to the use of wild caught primates. Use the links below to access further information: GSK use of wild-caught monkeys Development of Alternatives Neurovirulence Testing Supply of Monkeys ... Housing and Care Conditions GSK use of wild-caught monkeys The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set a goal of eradicating polio by 2005. The demand for Oral Polio Virus (OPV) from GSK has therefore reached 1 billion vaccine doses per year. The only way GSK can meet this demand - within the timeframe - is to continue using wild-caught African Green Monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) sourced from Barbados, where they are categorised as agricultural pests and are being culled.
