Parasitology
Kaludiyapokuna Primate Conservation and Research Center
We collect fecal samples of the langurs in both the dry and rainy seasons to analyze and compare the prevalence of different types of parasite, which could provide insights into comparative disease tolerance of these species . Additionally, we collect specimens of ticks. Being a vector of certain diseases, they can help us to identify potential illnesses that can be transmitted from one species to another.
