A systematic review of the literature relating to captive great ape morbidity and mortality
TL;DR: Reports of idiopathic and infectious diseases along with disorders of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal body systems were particularly prominent within the great ape literature during 1990–2014, but recent and accurate prevalence figures are lacking and there are flaws in those reviews that do exist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol values in free-ranging gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla and Gorilla beringei) and Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus).
TL;DR: Mountain gorillas did not differ significantly from free-ranging western lowland gorillas in cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or low-density cholesterol concentrations, indicating mountain gorilla values could be a model for western lowlands gorillas.
