brucei rhodesiense from a single bushbuck in the 1950s (34) led to the assumption that wildlife was the principal reservoir for human disease and resulted in widespread culling of wildlife for disease control. That is why one of the children's playmates was a dainty and affectionate bushbuck, and another a monkey that was often recovering from flea baths. As arrangements were being made to return the female bushbuck - an antelope-like animal - to Los Angeles, Zoo Director Manuel Mollinedo said he is now requiring that written documentation be provided on all transfers. |
