Home > General > I'm a new mom, help!
It's been a long time since I was a new Mom, 38 years to be exact, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was terrified! You know, babies don't come with instructions, nor do our bodies, for that matter.
When I had my daughter, breastfeeding was the "big thing," My Mom's generation usually didn't nurse their babies; we were "bottle babies." I had no one close to ask for advice on breastfeeding. All I had was a very scary nurse, who rolled her eyes at me every time I asked a question. I was so nervous, needless to say, breastfeeding almost didn't happen for my baby girl and me.
This is just one example of how much this 21 years old could have used the amazing training a young Mom gets when she comes to PRC!
Our patients can learn about anything from pre-natal care, nutrition, your changing body, to breastfeeding, baby CPR, and just about anything about parenting. While doing this, they also receive diapers and wipes at every appointment as well as "baby bucks" to purchase much-needed items for their little one.
Luckily my parents and in-laws were very helpful when it came to meeting many of those baby needs. But many women don't have a support system like I was blessed to have. If it weren't for PRC and the generosity of our many donors, their child might not even have the basics needed to come from the hospital.
In our Baby Boutique, we offer car seats, strollers, Pack-n-Plays, clothing, towels, bottles, blankets, baby hygiene items and so much more! This can help relieve some of the stress from a Mom who is feeling completely overwhelmed about her circumstances.
One of the greatest services we offer a new Mom is a relationship. We have advocates who are there to walk with her through her pregnancy with her as well as being there for her after her baby arrives. Our advocates teach, encourage, and love our patients. They also keep us abreast of any emergencies that may require special attention such as housing, medical needs or mentoring for the Father of the baby.
Our patients don't just have an advocate; they have a friend who shares not only "life" with them but the love of Christ!
Think you might be pregnant? PRC offers free, confidential pregnancy tests for women who think they might be pregnant. Make an appointment with us today, and get the answers you need.

Rangers and prospect Morgan Barron are talking contract
Morgan Barron doesn't reason as much fanfare as some of the Rangers other prospects. That's because he isn't really a flashy offensive player but instead a rock solid one. The type of prospect that finally makes his way onto an NHL roster and never looks back. That opportunity to do so may becoming very soon.
Barron ready to go pro
The rumor mill has center Morgan Barron close to signing an ELC with the New York Rangers. In a recent interview it was revealed that Barron is considering the offer, it sounds like his decision to leave Cornell and start next year in Hartford could come soon. His journey to pros should begin next season.

Drury wants him
In a recent interview with the NY POST, Hartford GM Chris Drury said, "We're very confident that he's ready to be a pro with what he's done and his maturity on and off the ice." For Barron he wants to complete his education, but there are ways he can do that while playing in the AHL. Of course, Barron is going to make the final call, but considering the number of roster spots open in Hartford next season it will be difficult for him not make the jump.
"There's a ton of stuff [to consider]," Barron said. "Obviously, where I feel I'm at with hockey is going to be a big one, whether I'm able to jump in and make an impact at the pro level or whether I could use one more season in college. … My education is a big thing, I went to Cornell because I wanted to graduate and I need to figure out if that's going to be a possibility if I leave."

Robert Kraft's plea deal offer for prostitution charges hinders real progress on sex trafficking
Those who buy sex have more power and privilege than those who sell it. There's a disgusting imbalance in every commercial sex interaction.
Robert Kraft's plea deal offer for prostitution charges hinders real progress on sex trafficking Those who buy sex have more power and privilege than those who sell it. There's a disgusting imbalance in every commercial sex interaction. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/03/21/robert-kraft-prostitution-plea-deal-offer-hurts-sex-trafficking-victims-column/3222601002/
Shea M. Rhodes and Jamie L. Pizzi, Opinion contributors Published 4:00 a.m. ET March 21, 2019 | Updated 8:05 a.m. ET March 21, 2019
Those who buy sex have comparatively more power and privilege than those who sell it. There's a disgusting imbalance in every commercial sex interaction.
Almost 300 people were charged late last month with soliciting prostitution in conjunction with a massive human sex trafficking investigation in Florida. The Palm Beach State Attorney's Office said this week that it offered New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and 24 other men a standard diversion program traditionally given to first-time offenders. The program requires the men concede their guilt, attend a class about prostitution, perform 100 hours of community service, and pay a fine of $5,000 per count. And the charges will be dropped.
Kraft denies committing a crime. Whether he accepts the plea deal or not, Palm Beach should not have made the offer.
The state attorney's decision to possibly forgo fully prosecuting these men is an all too common byproduct of misunderstandings about human trafficking and prostitution.This was clear in the disturbing share of the media coverage expressing sympathy for the men charged, proclaiming the entire operation a waste of resources, and advocating for legalization of prostitution. Not only do such opinions diminish the grotesque human rights violations alleged in this case, they ignore the pivotal role the demand for commercial sex plays in perpetuating human trafficking.

Hollywood Madam: Want to stop human trafficking? Legalize consensual sex for money.
When human trafficking victims live right under our noses, how can we stop it?
During this investigation, several massage parlors from Orlando to West Palm Beach were targeted as potential hotbeds for trafficking in the Sunshine State. Authorities recovered a series of victims and found most had been living out of the illicit businesses, cooking on hot plates and sleeping on what were likely the same massage tables where they allegedly engaged in commercial sex to repay their traffickers for debts incurred traveling from China to America.
Yet some in the media sympathized with the men charged with soliciting prostitution. Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports went on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight to protest that the entire investigation was a conspiracy to bring down the Patriots NFL team, insisting that Kraft's actions had no relation to human trafficking. ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith told listeners he supported Kraft and flippantly dismissed the incident as a "public relations blemish."
The authorities who took part in this this multijurisdiction investigation expressed the importance of charging the demand for commercial sex. Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr noted that "if there are customers, then these types of business can flourish." Sheriff Deryl Loar of Indian River County said the sex buyers involved in this sting "either knowingly or not knowingly were certainly supplying the funds to perpetuate" human sex trafficking. Sheriff William Snyder of Martin County said the "monsters are the men" who patronized these businesses.
Misguided sympathy for the buyer
That's not how some media figures see it. For instance, Michael Smerconish used his CNN segment to compare the legalization of marijuana to prostitution. After a comment about consenting adults exchanging money for sex, he said prostitution should be "cleaned up, regulated, so that those working in the industry are healthy and being paid fairly." He went on to condemn traffickers who force women into this line of work, only to juxtapose the charging of Kraft as a waste of police resources due to his status as a 77-year-old widower.
Eliciting sympathy for the men charged in this investigation to bolster support for full legalization is an attempt to overshadow the symbiotic relationship between human trafficking and prostitution. It is a proven fact that trafficking increases in places where prostitution is legalized. Not to mention, this viewpoint reinforces the patriarchal idea that men are entitled to women's bodies and that "boys will be boys."
Moreover, those who buy sex have comparatively more power and privilege than those who sell it. A study by Cook County, Illinois — described as "a window into sex trafficking" — found that those who buy sex are mostly white, educated and employed. Those who sell sex, by contrast, are more likely to be of color, coerced into prostitution under the age of 20, and struggling with mental illness.
These disparities show an obvious imbalance of power in every commercial sex interaction, regardless of whether human trafficking is involved. As Will Bunch wrote in The Philadelphia Inquirer, "The real scandal here is the gross imbalance of power involving women who were held in a form of human bondage to serve as objects of gratification for powerful men intoxicated by their belief they can get away with anything."
Stop buying lies about prostitution
The decision by Palm Beach to offer Kraft and 24 others a plea deal that would ultimately rid them of their solicitation charges encapsulates this disgusting imbalance in a nutshell. Those with privilege and power are getting a slap on the wrist for their role in exploiting those who do not share the same advantages.
The age-old trope that there is no harm in a man paying for a commercial sex act is an example of the ignorance that has allowed sex trafficking to thrive across the world for so long. Let's get this straight: There would be no trafficking without the persistent demand for commercial sex. The actions of Kraft and the other persons arrested in this investigation, their supportive commentators and even the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office do not exist in a vacuum. They are a part of a widespread refusal to acknowledge the connections between sex trafficking and prostitution, and the inherent structural inequalities that permeate the commercial sex industry.
As a society, we must face the reality that buying sex is far from a "victimless crime," and that validating arguments to the contrary has dangerous ramifications.

Snoring is a common problem that can happen to anyone especially with people who are overweight. It is a fact that snoring increases as the age of the person increases. Small children also get snoring problems because of a chest infection or tonsil problems in their throats. It does not only create problems for you, but also for the person who is sleeping right next to you. It can be dangerous for the snorer's health as it can cause various problems.
When snoring, the breathing interruption lasts for a few seconds or a few minutes. Snoring in the night can block the airways or create hurdles in the airways so that the person has problems to breathe.
Snoring can also interrupt your sleep and wake you up from sleep. Sometimes, the person doesn't realize it. It causes people to have lighter sleep. Deeper sleep allows a person to wake up refreshed in order to be active throughout the day. Light sleep or less sleep in the night can cause drowsiness during the day. This drowsiness can make a person careless and this is especially dangerous if a machine is part of the job.
A long term problem of snoring can affect the overall health of the person. For an example, it can cause problems with your blood pressure, enhance the size of the heart, and cause an increased risk of heart attacks or other heart problems.

The "Cottonbalers" Regiment: 7th U.S. Infantry
By Jennifer D. Swain
7th Infantry Regiment in New York during the Civil War.
The 7th United States Infantry Regiment possesses an illustrious history as one of the five oldest continuously serving regiments in the U.S. Army. Initially organized in July 1798, it was mustered out in 1800, but the regiment was reconstituted in May 1808 by an Act of Congress.
The 7th's service in the War of 1812 began at Ft. Harrison, Ohio, where future president Zachary Taylor commanded a company, and culminated in its participation in the Battle of New Orleans in Jan. 1815 under the command of General Andrew Jackson. The regiment earned its nickname, "The Cottonbalers", from its use of cotton bales as defensive works during the battle.
After the War of 1812, the Army went through a series of regimental consolidations. The new 7th Infantry served on the frontier assigned to Ft. Gibson, Arkansas, until 1840. It participated in various actions in Florida during the early 1840s. In 1846, the regiment moved to Corpus Christi, Texas, where it notably participated in the campaigns against Vera Cruz, San Juan and Cerro Gordo during the Mexican-American War.
The 1850s saw the 7th U.S. Regiment removed back to Florida and then reassigned to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, from which it moved to serve in various frontier and territorial operations, including those in Utah against the Mormons.
As war broke out in the east in the spring of 1861, the military situation in Texas deteriorated similarly, and a series of small actions led to the ignominious surrender of seven of the ten companies of the 7th to local Texas troops. Paroled to Jefferson Barracks, their commanding officer was dismissed the service by President Abraham Lincoln.
In October 1862, the 7th Regiment joined the Army of the Potomac at the outset of the Fredericksburg campaign. The 7th U.S. Infantry was assigned 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division (Brig. Gen. George Sykes) of the 5th Corps. When the Army of the Potomac engaged the Army of Northern Virginia in December at Fredericksburg, the 7th U.S. distinguished itself with its defense of the advanced position on the southern side of Fredericksburg, holding a position on the eastern side of Hanover Street. While there, the unit took heavy fire and suffered the heaviest losses of any regiment in their brigade prior to orders to withdraw from the city.
In May 1863, the 7th Infantry Regiment fought in the Battle of Chancellorsville, where the 5th Corps deployed in line on the northside of the Orange Turnpike, taking the crest of the hill (land today owned and preserved by the Civil War Trust) and holding it despite great enemy resistance. The 7th held the position for over an hour before being ordered to retire.

With General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North in June 1863, the 7th was with the Army of the Potomac when it went in pursuit. Arriving at Gettysburg on July 2, the division first formed on the north slope of Little Round Top. With the brigade, the regiment advanced across Plum Run toward the Wheatfield. The 7th received orders to wheel left and advance into the woodline to relieve hard pressed Union defenders. But, as the situation deteriorated, the brigade received orders to withdraw. During that movement, the Cottonbalers came under fire from three directions. Though they managed to reach safety on Little Round Top, the 7th lost slightly over 50 percent of its combat strength.
After the Gettysburg Campaign, the 7th received orders to New York City in response to the draft riots. The regiment remained there on garrison duties until the conclusion of the war.
The early Reconstruction years saw the 7th serving in Florida, but it then transferred to Montana, stationed at Fort Shaw. Post-war duties included protection of surveying expeditions and Indian suppression, notably the rescue of Major Marcus Reno's survivors of the 7th Cavalry's disastrous campaign at the Little Bighorn. Later, the regiment was transferred several times, serving at Ft. Snelling, Minn., and at Ft. Logan in Colorado against the Utes.
During the Spanish-American War, the 7th Infantry Regiment served in Cuba, fighting at El Caney and San Juan Hill, then being deployed to help put down the Philippine Insurrection at Samar and Luzon.
In World War I the regiment deployed to France as part of the newly formed 3rd Infantry Division, where it participated in the Aisne, Chateau-Thierry, and Champagne-Marne Defensives, before seeing offensive actions at Aisne-Marne, the Meuse-Argonne and St. Mihiel. For the regiment's distinctive action, it received the French Croix de Guerre with Star.
The 7th Infantry Regiment then saw extensive service in World War II, deploying early on in 1942's assault on Morocco. They went on to serve across North Africa into Sicily and Italy, up through France, and then participating in the capture of Berchtesgaden.
Following World War II, the regiment deployed to join the 3rd Infantry Division in Korea. The 7th fought and met with success until contact with Chinese Army units resulted in United Nations positions being overrun. It then helped open and maintain a route of retreat for U.N. forces to evacuate by sea from the Port of Hungnam. The Cottonbalers were the last unit out of Hungnam on Dec. 24, 1950, leaving for Puson, where they joined the 8th Army and fought until a truce was signed in Korea, returning to Ft. Benning, Ga.

In Vietnam, the 3rd Battalion of the 7th U.S. Infantry served four years with the 199th Infantry Brigade. After Vietnam, the Army assigned 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the regiment to the 24th Infantry Division, stationed at Ft. Stewart in Georgia. 1st and 4th Battalions became part of the 3rd Infantry Division, stationed in Germany. In those formations, the 7th deployed to Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield in the 1990s. The four battalions played key roles in the ground war phase of Desert Storm.
In the 1990s, the 24th Infantry Division was reorganized as the 3rd ID, retaining the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Cottonbalers. Those battalions were at the fore of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003-2009, completing four deployments.
Since then the 7th Infantry has participated in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and then in Operation Atlantic Resolve in Europe.

English Language Teaching in Public Primary Schools in Latin America
Challenges and accomplishments of ELT at primary level in Chile: Towards the aspiration of becoming a bilingual country
Malba Barahona Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso
ELT policy, Chile, primary education
This paper explores the policy development supporting the implementation of English language teaching (ELT) in Chile at primary level over the last two decades. This policy—which made English instruction compulsory for all Chilean students from fifth grade—has had to deal with a series of significant challenges since its introduction. One key impediment has been the lack of qualified teachers of English at primary school level. In addition, in a crowded curriculum, English teaching has been often allocated inadequate number of hours to facilitate successful language acquisition. Further, suitable learning resources and support materials—especially designed for young learners—have often been limited. Nevertheless, it can be argued that the broader offering of English, particularly at the primary level, has had an important democratising effect. It has been somewhat effective in allowing children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to access a global language and a potential world of opportunities previously only available to students attending wealthy private institutions. Data suggests that this policy has had some impact in establishing educational foundations for broader access to more advanced language learning for all students in Chile. However, equally it demonstrates further resources and support for teachers and teaching is essential to realise this potential.

What Is Early Action in College Admissions?
Early action, like early decision, is an accelerated college application process in which students typically must complete their applications in November. In most cases, students will then receive a decision from the college before the new year.
At many colleges, the acceptance rates are higher for early action than for regular admission.
Students who are not accepted early are still considered for admission with the regular admission pool.
Early action is not binding -- students are free to apply to other colleges.
Students can apply early to other colleges.
Although students receive early notification of an acceptance, they do not need to make a decision until the usual May 1 deadline. This allows time to figure out financial aid.
If accepted early at a college, the spring of a student's senior year will be far less stressful.
Even if accepted early, a student can choose to go to a different college with no penalty.
Clearly, early action has more benefits for the student than for the college. So not surprisingly, many more colleges offer early decision than early action.
If you are admitted, you can be done with your college search by December. For regular admission, your uncertainty can drag on until late March or April.
At most colleges, a higher percentage of applicants are admitted from the early action pool than the regular admission pool. The difference isn't always as great as it might be with a binding policy like early decision, but early action still helps you demonstrate interest, a factor that can make a difference in admission decisions.
You have nothing to lose--early action isn't binding, so you aren't committed to attend a college if admitted.
You'll need to have your application ready early, often by November 1st. This can sometimes lead to rushed applications.
A rejection letter in December can be demoralizing as you work on regular admission applications.
When Are Early Action Applications Due?
The table below presents the deadlines for a small sampling of colleges that offer early action.
The only reason to not apply early action is because your application simply isn't ready by the early deadline. The benefits are many, and the downsides are few. While early decision sends a stronger message to a college about your true interest, early action is still likely to improve your chances of getting in at least a little.
How Does the College Admissions Process Work?

Q: configure Azure ContainerInstance to use self hosted registry I'm currently testing Azure and i tried to deploy my own docker image.
The image is hosted on a registry on my VServer.
The registry is using port 5000.
When I try to provide the .yaml file with proper imageRegistryCredentials it fails.
Image registry credentials:
- server: my.server.com:5000
  username: me
  password: abc123

az container create -g My group --file myconainer.yaml returns:
The server 'my.server.com:5000' in the 'imageRegistryCredentials' of container group 'MyContainerGroup' is Invalid.
It should be a valid hostname without protocol.

And if I do not provide a port I can not login to the registry.
What am I doing wrong?

A: When you create the Azure container Instance from a private container registry, then the container registry should be accessed from the Internet, at least the Azure can access it, not just can be accessed from the private network.
If not, I suggest you can push your image to Azure Container Registry, then create the Azure container Instance from it. It's also a private registry. And it has great access control.
If you have more questions, please let me know. I'm glad to provide more help.
Update
The definition of the property of the imageRegistryCredentials in the Azure Template, it's also the same means in the yaml file. It does not need the port, just the server name. I can reappear the error you got if add the port.

Try just add the registry server name without the port like this:
apiVersion: 2018-10-01
location: eastus
name: azureContainerGroup
properties:
  containers:
  - name: aci-tutorial-app
    properties:
      image: charlesacr.azurecr.io/nginx:v1
      resources:
        requests:
          cpu: 1
          memoryInGb: 1.5
      ports:
      - port: 80
  osType: Linux
  ipAddress:
    type: Public
    ports:
    - protocol: tcp
      port: '80'
  imageRegistryCredentials:
    - server: charlesacr.azurecr.io
      username: charlesACR
      password: xxxxxxxxxx
tags: null
type: Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups

Update-2
With the test, finally, I find that Azure Container Instance does not support the private registry with certificate currently, it just supports the private registry with username and password. Maybe it will support in the future, but not now. So if you want to use the private registry, then you need to delete the certificate authenticate.
You can always raise your feedback over this link:

I give exactly zero fucks about that other Ben Affleck news released today, but this is interesting.
Afleck, who you probably know was hired to adapt King's monumental PA tome The Stand into two flicks for Warner Brothers - and who recently hinted that he was having trouble figuring out how to do that - has left the project. The writer/director of Crazy Heart and the upcoming Out of the Furnace has been called in.
Since Affleck's last few directorial efforts have been pretty stellar, I was actually curious to see his work on The Stand. Ah well, I guess I'll ignore him as a superhero instead.
I'm not quite sure what was Bens issue, I'm not a Affleck watcher either. I would think you read the book maybe also see the 94 miniseries to see how it was done, maybe even talk to King get his thoughts and go from there. The Stand simply wont work ad a 90 to 120 minute movie. I hope the WB realizes that. The Stand will only work as a mini series and fans will judge as modern remake by 1994 miniseries. That you need to keep in mind. I'm frankly not hopeful.

New Insights Into the Cause of Infidelity
It's estimated that 20 to 25 percent of all marriages suffer from infidelity. And we know men and women cheat at about the same rate. A new study is casting more light on the cause of indidelity. Jana Hackathorn and Brien K. Ashdown, an associate professor at Murray State University and associate professor at Hobart & William Smith Colleges authored some surprising and not so surprising results. 545 members of the online infidelity site AshleyMadison completed an anonymous survey about why they cheat. Most of the survey participants (81%) were male averaging 49 years old.
Not surprising was the finding that most of the cheaters were there because they were unhappy with their spouse, or that they had "fallen out of love." This is a common refrain. Other studies have found that lacking love or a feeling of commitment to their spouse was the driving force behind affairs over 40 percent of the time.
What was surprising was that the "other woman/man" wasn't really that big of a motivation. In other words, the cheaters aren't being lured away or tempted by another person. For men, it's mostly about boredom at home. Many state they are just there for the sex. It's very different for women, however. The driving motivation for women is neglect. Women who answered the survey reported they were looking for a second partner as much for the emotional support as for the sex. Feeling neglected or ignored by their partner is tied in some way in up to 70 percent of infidelity.
Another surprise was that among younger participants, they listed a greater Christian religious affiliation and claimed their motivation was much different. Many of them said that they were cheating to get revenge. It could be for the other partner's affair, to even the score after an argument, or because they feel they deserve more than they get from the relationship.

Buffalo, NY – Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reports that Deputies responded to the Rite Aid Pharmacy on Broadway in the Village of Alden yesterday for an attempted robbery incident.
Reports indicate that a female subject entered the store around 2:30 p.m. and demanded some prescription drugs. The female, described as white and short with strawberry-blonde hair tied in a ponytail, approached the pharmacy counter and stated she was attempting to steal Suboxone. The subject threatened to come over the counter when the employee refused her demands but when the employee repeatedly denied her requests the suspect left the store.
The Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate the incident.


Since being introduced on the world stage by way of a fortuitous TED talk he did in 2011 titled "This is Beatjazz," Mississippi native Onyx Ashanti has been evolving at a pace that surprises even him.

Conservation Success Leads to New Challenges for Endangered Mountain Gorillas
As Gorilla Population Increases, So May Their Risk of Infectious Diseases
by UC Davis News and Media Relations
A mountain gorilla family in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park in 2020. (Gorilla Doctors)
A study published today in Scientific Reports suggests that new health challenges may be emerging as a result of conservationists' success in pulling mountain gorillas back from the brink of extinction.
The study, the first species-wide survey of parasite infections across the entire range of the mountain gorilla, was conducted by an international science team led by the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences; University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, Czech Republic; Gorilla Doctors; and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. The work was conducted in collaboration with the protected area authorities of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (the Rwanda Development Board, the Uganda Wildlife Authority and l'Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature, respectively).
A growing concern
All mountain gorillas live in fully protected national parks in Rwanda, Uganda and DR Congo, where the potential for spatial expansion is extremely limited due to dense human communities living nearby. Consequently, as gorilla population densities within the protected areas increase, their susceptibility to infectious diseases may also.
The Virunga mountain gorilla population has not increased uniformly across its habitat, possibly due to varying ecological conditions that are linked to different vegetation types. Additionally, in areas of the Virunga Massif where some of the highest growth rates occurred, the mountain gorillas experienced major changes in their social structure, leading to a threefold increase in group densities.

Clinical gastrointestinal diseases linked to helminths, a type of parasitic worm, have been recorded in mountain gorilla populations in both the Virunga Massif and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and may pose a threat to these endangered animals.
"Gastrointestinal disease from helminths is typically asymptomatic in wild non-human primates," said first author Dr. Klara Petrzelkova, senior researcher at the Czech Academy of Sciences. "But host and extrinsic factors can alter transmission and susceptibility. This study has put a spotlight on these factors."
Drivers and patterns
The study elucidates the drivers and patterns of helminth infections and provides a comprehensive foundation for future assessments of the impact of these parasites on gorilla population dynamics. Strongylid and tapeworm infections were quantified in fecal samples collected from night nests and from individually identified gorillas living in five social groups using fecal egg counts.
"Detecting significant differences in parasite burdens among gorilla family groups is critical information for guiding our decisions in providing life-saving veterinary care for this endangered species," said Julius Nziza, head veterinarian in Rwanda for Gorilla Doctors, which is a collaboration of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project and the University of California, Davis' Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center.
Striking geographic differences in strongylid infections were detected, with higher egg counts measured mostly in gorillas living in areas where there has been a higher occurrence of gastrointestinal disease in gorillas. Differences in population growth rates across the Virunga Massif subpopulations and the Bwindi population, differences in the social structure of groups, especially in the Virungas, and differences in habitat characteristics (for example, vegetation types at altitudinal gradients) across the distribution range of mountain gorillas may explain observed differences in strongylid infections.
"The knowledge we acquired from this study will help develop future plans for protecting these endangered primates and their critical habitat" said Felix Ndagijimana of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
This highly collaborative study points to new challenges emerging as possible "side effects" of the remarkable conservation success of the past few decades. Unraveling the patterns of parasite infections in both gorilla populations, evaluating host exposure to infective parasite stages, and studying susceptibility to infection and its consequences on host health will be an important next step for the continued success and survival of this and other endangered animal species with small, isolated populations.
