“…Existing guidelines stress the importance of using the least invasive methods possible (Animal Behavior Society 2013). For example, samples for genetic and endocrinology studies can be collected non-invasively (Goossens et al 2011;Hodges and Heistermann 2011). When direct contact is necessary, guidelines state that the minimum number of animals should be captured and pain and distress should be avoided (American Society of Primatologists; Riley et al 2014).…”

AbstractCapture is one of the top ethical concerns of field primatologists, and darting is a common method of capturing primates. Little is published, however, about the safety of darting practices and conditions for the animals concerns. We conducted a literature review to examine trends in the reporting of darting methods and results, and two anonymous surveys of primatologists to gather information on darting methods and their effect on the primates involved. Among 111 papers reporting studies that darted primates, only 18 included full details of procedures, the total numbers of primates darted and the number, if any, of injuries and complications. In the surveys, 73 respondents reported on 2,092 dartings, including 44 injuries. The results show that smaller primates are more likely to be injured. 91% of seriously and fatally injured primates were arboreal, although arboreal species accounted for only 54% of the dartings. All primates who were fatally injured due to a dart hitting the abdomen or head were darted with a rifle, which were used for 45% of dartings. The presence of a veterinarian appears to reduce primate mortality in the event of injury or complications. Severe social effects of darting are not common, but include forced copulations, partner changes, and fatal attacks on infants. Lack of information about primate darting hinders refinement in methods that could improve safety. We hope this study will lead to greater sharing of information and the formation of a committee of experts in capture and immobilization to evaluate and regularly update protocols.

“…Sumber paparan parasit pada orangutan tangkapan, semi-liar, dan liar adalah turis, peneliti, pemandu wisata, penjaga hutan, penjaga hewan, dan masyarakat yang kontak secara tidak langsung seperti penduduk sekitar hutan, pemburu, dan penebang pohon (Woodford et al, 2002). Interaksi intensif manusia dengan satwa liar dapat menimbulkan penyakit zoonosis parasitik (Goossens et al, 2003).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan identifikasi dan mengetahui persentase orangutan yang terinfeksi endoparasit (cacing) pada orangutan excaptive yang berada di Suaka Margasatwa Sungai Lamandau. Sampel feses orangutan yang diperiksa sebanyak 30 individu yang didapatkan dicamp Gemini dan Siswoyo. Pemeriksaan feses dilakukan secara makroskopis dan mikroskopis. Pemeriksaan mikroskopis dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua metode yaitu metode Ridley dengan larutan sodium acetate, acetic acid, dan formaldehyde (SAF) fiksatif dan metode apung. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan adanya infeksi cacing gastrointestinal sebesar 56,7%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orangutan positif terinfestasi telur cacing tipe ascarid; trichurid; dan strongiloid masing-masing sebesar 43,3; 16,7; dan 6,7%. Orangutan dapat mengalami infeksi lebih dari satu jenis tipe telur cacing.
