Abstract
Parasites can have significant impact on orangutan health and there are many noninvasive methods that can be used on both captive/center/wild orangutan populations. Our team collects behavioral data, fecal samples and phenology. The main aim is self-medication: most studies have been done on chimpanzees. There have been no documented cases of self-medication in orangutans. Looking currently at use of Sirih-sirih – Piper aduncum L Piperaceae. The most prevalent parasites seen in orangutans are: Balantidium spp. / Entamoeba spp. /m Trichuris sp. / Strongyloides sp. / Oesophagostomum sp. / Enterobiinae. A New species discovered Pongobius hugoti, Lemuricola pongoi.
