Infectious disease outbreaks pose a significant threat to the conservation of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and all threatened nonhuman primates. Characterizing and mitigating these threats to support the sustainability and welfare of wild populations is of the highest priority. In an attempt to understand and mitigate the risk of disease for the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park, Tanzania, we initiated a long-term health-monitoring program in 2004. While the initial focus was to expand the ongoing behavioral research on chimpanzees to include standardized data on clinical signs of health, it soon became evident that the scope of the project would ideally include diagnostic surveillance of pathogens for all primates (including people) and domestic animals, both within and surrounding the National Park. Integration of these data, along with in-depth post-mortem examinations, have allowed us to establish baseline health indicators to inform outbreak response. Here, we describe the development and expansion of the Gombe Ecosystem Health project, review major findings from the research and summarize the challenges and lessons learned over the past 16 years. We also highlight future directions and present the opportunities and challenges that remain when implementing studies of ecosystem health in a complex, multispecies environment.

贡贝生态系统健康项目:16 年的项目演变和经验教训

传染病爆发对黑猩猩(Pan troglodytes)的保护构成重大威胁) 和所有受威胁的非人类灵长类动物。描述和减轻这些威胁以支持野生种群的可持续性和福利是重中之重。为了了解和减轻坦桑尼亚贡贝国家公园黑猩猩的疾病风险,我们在 2004 年启动了一项长期健康监测计划。虽然最初的重点是扩大正在进行的黑猩猩行为研究,以包括标准化关于健康临床体征的数据,很快就很明显,该项目的范围最好包括对国家公园内外所有灵长类动物(包括人)和家畜的病原体进行诊断监测。这些数据的整合,以及深入的尸检,使我们能够建立基线健康指标,为疫情应对提供信息。在这里,我们描述了贡贝生态系统健康项目的发展和扩展,回顾了研究的主要发现,并总结了过去 16 年的挑战和经验教训。我们还强调了未来的方向,并介绍了在复杂的多物种环境中实施生态系统健康研究时仍然存在的机遇和挑战。
