Orangutans are noteworthy among great apes in their predilection for chronic, insidious, and ultimately fatal respiratory disease. Termed Orangutan Respiratory Disease Syndrome (ORDS), this cystic fibrosis–like disease is characterized by comorbid conditions of sinusitis, mastoiditis, airsacculitis, bronchiectasis, recurrent pneumonia. The aim retrospective study was to determine the sensitivity clinical signs diagnosis ORDS Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) compared with gold standard via...
Orangutan respiratory disease syndrome (ORDS) is a unique to orangutans (
This study reported the diagnosis and treatment of Strongyloidiasis in two Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus); adult male aged 23 years, weighing 100 kg an infant female orangutan, 4 years old, 13,6 kg. Samples were physically laboratory examined for faeces using Mini-FLOTAC method. Therapy was performed on orangutan albendazole at a dose 400 mg individual twice day days, orally. The administered 10 mg/kg BW once 3 days From several physical examinations, both looked active, body...
Unique among apes, orangutans (Pongo spp.) develop a chronic respiratory disease called orangutan syndrome (ORDS). The authors define ORDS as intermittent bacterial infection and inflammation of any region or combination regions the tract, including sinuses, air sacs, cranial bones, airways, lung parenchyma. Infection in these areas can present acutely but then becomes recurrent, chronic, progressive, ultimately fatal. closest model to this is cystic fibrosis (CF) people. We hypothesized...
