Pathology of the baboon (Papio sp.) in captivity : development of veterinary guidelines as part of the european ex situ program ; Pathologie des babouins (Papio sp.) en captivité : élaboration de recommandations vétérinaires dans le cadre du programme d'élevage européen

This work introduces a bibliographic review on pathology, management in captivity and conservation context of baboon species: Papio papio, Papio hamadryas, Papio ursinus, Papio anubis, Papio cynocephalus, Papio kindae, and their hybrids. Information gathered in this part will be used for the purpose of the conception of veterinary best practices guidelines in cooperation with the european ex situ program coordinator. This guide is currently being drafted. In a second part, a survey of the 65 parks taking part in the Guinea baboon EEP was conducted. It concerned veterinary practices, preventive measures, diagnostic tools and management of the diseases encountered, anesthesia and restraint techniques, diet management. Information obtained, supplemented by necropsy reports and diet sheets, was analyzed and compared to scientific literature data in order to produce a synthetic document in the context of the Husbandry guidelines. The predominance of digestive diseases, in particular those related to parasites, was brought out, followed by neonatal disorders, notably related to behavior disorders, followed by fractures and bites related to agressions. Epilepsia, whose management is delicate, is also often reported, especially in the Parc Zoologique de Paris. It is seldom explored in captive baboons, and could be considered for a further study in order to improve its management. ; Ce travail propose une étude bibliographique sur la pathologie, la gestion en captivité et le contexte de conservation des différentes espèces de babouins : Papio papio, Papio hamadryas, Papio ursinus, Papio anubis, Papio cynocephalus, Papio kindae, ainsi que leurs hybrides. Les informations récoltées dans cette partie seront utilisées dans le cadre de l'élaboration d'un guide de bonnes pratiques vétérinaires pour l'élevage de ces espèces en collaboration avec le coordinateur du programme d'élevage européen, ce guide étant actuellement en cours de rédaction. Dans une deuxième partie, une enquête a été menée auprès des 65 parcs concernés par ...
