Article Synopsis
- Developed a flexible model for estimating upper limit populations of long-tailed macaques using camera trap images and habitat preference mapping.
- The model combines environmental data, GPS data, and direct sightings to produce estimated population numbers, optimized through a parameter representing inquisitiveness.
- Results indicate that long-tailed macaque populations are up to 80% smaller than expected, highlighting the model's accuracy and potential as a noninvasive tool for wildlife conservation across species.
We describe a case of lumpy skin disease in an endangered banteng in Cambodia and the subsequent initiation of a vaccination campaign in domestic cattle to protect wild bovids from disease transmission at the wildlife-livestock interface. Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) was first detected in domestic cattle in Cambodia in June of 2021 and rapidly spread throughout the country. In September 2021, a banteng was seen in Phnom Tnout Phnom Pok wildlife sanctuary with signs of lumpy skin disease.
