| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In FY2023 we collected >200 fecal samples from five primate species living in very different riverine ecosystems (Klias Peninsula, Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary) in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Samples were processed at the Insttute for Tropical Biodiversity and Conservation at the Universiti Malaysia Sabah, and exported to Japan for analysis. We secured further funding in FY2024 to analyze these samples in collaboration with researchers at Oita university, with whom we published a manuscript based on a metagenomic analysis of parasites in Asian primates. We also continued work on Yakushima, investigating parasites found in tanuki latrines. We are testing if the popularity of each latrine among tanuki increases parasite diversity and abundance, leading to higher risk of infection.
