Název v původním jazyce

Investigating the use of medicinal plants by orangutans (genus Pongo Lacépede, 1789: Hominidae) to combat parasitic infection

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

All species of orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus ssp.) are endangered. The study of the epidemiology of orangutan parasitic infection is required for successful conservation planning and wildlife management of the remaining fragmented populations. This includesunderstanding orangutan behaviour influencing parasitic infection. Zoopharmacognosy is the term that describes the behaviour of wild animals using specific wild plants with medicinal effects. This project aims to evaluate the hypothesis that the eatingof specific plants, or their parts, by orangutans corresponds to a decrease in parasite load. This will be investigated by testing selected plant compounds for antiparasitic activity on selected parasite cultures, using in vivo and in vitro models.
