Course: Primate Veterinary Care
Instructor: Dr. Héctor Sanz Cabañes
Dates: 24 July - 13 August 2015
Description:
Students will travel South Africa for 3 weeks while learning about veterinary care of both wild and captive nonhuman primates. Topics include but are not limited to basic health evaluations, anesthesia, immobilization, parasitic and infectious diseases, common disease treatments, surgical care, and wound treatment. After a night of being welcomed to South Africa at Lesedi Cultural Village, students will spend five nights at Loskop Dam Nature Reserve. There, students will have orientation, bush skills training, lectures, and will have access to habituated wild vervets as well as chacma baboons and lesser bushbabies. We will then visit Leshiba Wilderness Reserve for fieldwork and lectures. Students will have opportunities to view 5 primate species at Leshiba – chacma baboons, vervet monkeys, samango monkeys, lesser bushbabies and thick-tailed bushbabies. Next, we will spend three nights in the remote wilderness of Kruger National Park. Students will then get a brief break during the scenic Panorama Route drive en route to Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. We will also visit the Vervet Monkey Foundation (VMF) sanctuary, where students will practice methods studied earlier in the course.
Cost: $4600
