Abstract

In the original language

1. Conservation success stories, such as the recovery of the isolated populations of mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei), are increasingly threatened by emerging health challenges. In the Virunga Massif, strongylid-associated gastrointestinal disease has been linked to significant morbidity and mortality of mountain gorillas, posing a critical threat to this population's long-term survival.
