Rehabilitation of captive Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus)

Hannah, Alison Campbell January 1989 (has links)
The behaviour of 48 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) was studied over 27 months in Liberia, West Africa. The chimpanzees were first studied while they were housed in groups in enclosures in a medical research institute, and then after their release onto a 9.7 ha offshore island. When the chimpanzees were observed in captivity, data on social behaviour were collected with the use of check sheets and ad libitum notes. Data were collected on aggression, social grooming, social play, sexual behaviour, and individual spacing. After release onto the island, data on both social and subsistence behaviour were collected with the use of ad libitum notes. Both changes in social behaviour and in the development of subsistence behaviour were observed following release of the chimpanzees onto the island. Rates of aggression decreased following release, whereas rates of social grooming increased. Rates of social play decreased overall, but this was due to a decrease in social play by adults. Stereotyped or abnormal behaviour shown by some subjects declined. Subsistence behaviours which were observed following release were foraging for naturally occurring foods (leaves, fruits, seeds, and nuts), ant-eating, and tool-use for nut-cracking. Some subjects were also seen building sleeping-nests in trees. The chimpanzees also split into subgroups (including consortships) which showed similar trends in size and composition to those observed in wild populations of chimpanzees. Some techniques found to be useful during the release process are discussed, and the study is compared to previous primate release projects.

Atividade biocida de desinfetantes e fitoquímicos frente a fungos isolados de animais silvestres mantidos em centro de recuperação / Biocidal activity of disinfectants and phytochemicals against fungi isolated from wild animals kept in recovery center

Redü, Josiara Furtado Mendes January 2014 (has links)
O estudo teve como objetivos verificar a suscetibilidade in vitro e in uso de diferentes espécies de leveduras oriundas de animais silvestres frente a diferentes desinfetantes existentes no mercado, bem como fitoquímicos. Foram realizados testes de Microdiluição em Caldo (MC) in vitro, com as seguintes leveduras: Candida albicans, C. catenulata, C. guilliermondii, C. ciferri, C. famata, C. globosa, C. intermedia, C. sphaerica, Trichosporon assahii, Rhodotorula sp., Geotrichum klebahnii e Cryptococcus laurentii, frente a Hipoclorito de Sódio, Pinho, Quaternário de Amônio, Digluconato de clorexidina, Água Sanitária, Óleo de Pinho, Óleo de Mentha piperita, Extrato Hidroálcoolico de Eucalipto, 1,8-Cineol e Óleo de Castanha-do-Brasil. Também foram realizados testes de Eficácia de Desinfetantes (ED) com os desinfetantes químicos, nos tempos de 0.5, 1, 5 e 15 minutos, com as mesmas leveduras. Os testes in uso foram realizados no Núcleo de Reabilitação da Fauna Silvestre da UFPel, com o Pinho, Água Sanitária e Digluconato de Clorexidina. Os resultados demonstraram boa ação dos compostos estudados, sendo que nos testes de MC todos os desinfetantes químicos, o óleo de Pinho e o óleo de Castanha-do-Brasil apresentaram ação fungicida, os demais compostos fitoquímicos apresentaram apenas ação fungistática. Nos testes de ED todas as leveduras estudas foram inativadas em até 15 minutos na presença de matéria orgânica e em cinco minutos quando o desinfetante foi diluído apenas em água. Já para os testes in uso ocorreu uma redução de em média 50% após o uso dos produtos na desinfecção do local. Todos os resultados dependentes do produto utilizado. Os desinfetantes químicos apresentaram resultados positivos frente aos microrganismos estudados, sendo mais eficazes que os fitoquímicos, que também obtiveram uma ação satisfatória neste estudo. Este estudo reforça a importância de manter a higiene das instalações dos Centros de Triagem de Animais Silvestres (CETAS), uma vez que todos os microrganismos estudados são provenientes da microbiota fúngica de animais silvestres. Os cuidados com a limpeza, higienização e a desinfecção são fundamentais na manutenção de qualquer cativeiro. / The study was designed to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility and in use of different yeast species originated from wild animals against different existing disinfectants on the market, as well as phytochemicals. Microdilution tests ( MC ) in vitro, were performed in broth, with the following yeasts : Candida albicans , C. catenulata , C. guilliermondii, C. Ciferri , C. famata, C. globosa, C. intermedia, C. sphaerica, Trichosporon assahii, Rhodotorula sp., Geotrichum klebahnii and Cryptococcus laurentii, compared to Sodium Hypochlorite, Pine, Quaternary ammonium, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Bleach, Pine Oil, Mentha piperita oil, Hydroalcoholic Extract of Eucalyptus, 1.8 - Cineol and Chestnut- of - Brazil Oil. Efficacy testing of disinfectants (ED) were also carried out with chemical disinfectants, in the times of 0.5, 1, 5 and 15 minutes, with the same yeast. The tests were performed in use at the Núcleo de Reabilitação da Fauna Silvestre, UFPel, with Pine, Bleach and Chlorhexidine Digluconate . The results showed good deed of the compounds studied, and the MC tests all chemical disinfectants, oil Pine and Chestnut Brazil- oil showed fungicidal action, other phytochemical compounds showed only fungistatic . ED tests in all studied yeasts were inactivated within 15 minutes in the presence of organic matter and in five minutes when the disinfectant was diluted with water only. Already in use for the tests was a reduction of 50 % on average after using the products for the disinfection of the site. All results depending on the product used. Chemical disinfectants showed positive results against the microorganisms studied, being more effective that phytochemicals, which also had a satisfactory action in this study. This study reinforces the importance of maintaining the cleanliness of the premises of the Screening Centers of Wild Animals (CETAS) , since all the microorganisms studied are from fungal microbiota of wild animals . The care of the cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection are critical in maintaining any captivity.
