Program:
The first two days are dedicated to provide a basic overview of
what has been done in the field of great ape health. The
third day will offer the opportunity to discuss concrete plans
for the creation
of a network aimed at a better understanding of diseases in the
wild and possibilities for intervention and prevention.
During the first two days, a mixture of invited and submitted presentations
will be given, all related to the issues of disease in great apes.
A list of the invited speakers is provided below with the topic
they are going to discuss.

Workshop on the creation of a “Great
Ape Health Monitoring Unit” (GAHMU)
To address the challenges of the monitoring and handling of health problems
in great apes, the creation of a “Great Ape Health Monitoring Unit” (GAHMU)
working in close collaboration with interested organisations is envisioned.
This will include a trained veterinary section with staff that will be fully
devoted to help field workers with health issues and will be able to utilize
an established set of international laboratories possessing the last technologies
and know how on health diagnostic skills in an attempt to improve our efficacy
at responding to emergencies in the field.
To launch the GAHMU in a way that best responds to the need of the field workers
and can help at different levels, we want to spend a day with experts and representatives
of different great apes field projects.
Provisional program
09:00 - 10:00 Introduction to "GAHMU" (C. Boesch, F. Leendertz, and W. Karesh)
10:00 - 10:20 Coffee/ Tee break
Workshop on:
10:20 - 12:20 Hygienic measurements for living and working in proximity to
wild great apes and Emergency plans in case of great apes morbidity or mortality
12:20 - 13:20 Lunch
13:20 - 15:20 Monitoring health of great apes living in the wild and development
of non invasive methods, involvement of laboratories, etc.
15:20 - 15:30 coffee break
15:30 - 17:00 Synthesis of the workshops and foundation of “GAHMU”,
infrastructure for GHAMU and fund raising
