At
San Diego Zoo, lorises go through the same quarantine
procedures that all
of primates. That includes a thorough physical exam and a 30
day quarantine
that begins the day they get a negative result on their T.B.
test (H. Fitch-Snyder,
pers. comm.). Rabies infection seems unlikely, but as a
precaution ought
to be considered (possibility of infection of animals for sale
on local
markets by dogs or cats?).
