Program Persampelan untuk Projek PREDICT (Pemantauan dan Pencegahan Penyakit
Berjangkit daripada Hidupan Liar)
Sampling for the Surveillance and Prevention of Emerging Infectious Disease from Wildlife
(PREDICT) Program.
Program ini adalah jalinan kerjasama antara PERHILITAN dengan EcoHealth Alliance dan telah
bermula pada Ogos 2010. RHL Liar Sungkai, Perak telah dipilih menjadi lokasi pertama persampelan
program ini. Satu Kursus Persampelan untuk Pemantauan Penyakit Zoonosis Hidupan Liar telah
diadakan di RHL Sungkai pada 8 – 14 Ogos 2010 yang disertai oleh 10 orang kakitangan Jabatan
PERHILITAN. Persampelan telah dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali yang meliputi tiga jenis kawasan
iaitu hutan dara, pinggir hutan dan kawasan penempatan manusia di pinggir rezab. Sejumlah 96
haiwan daripada 16 spesies mamalia kecil telah berjaya ditangkap dan dilepaskan semula selepas
sampel-sampel diambil. Kira-kira lapan jenis sampel diambil daripada setiap individu haiwan
termasuklah sampel serum, sel darah merah, dan beberapa jenis swab. Sampel-sampel organ
juga diperolehi daripada haiwan yang telah mati. Persampelan juga dilakukan terhadap spesies
Kera yang diperolehi daripada pogram kawalan gangguan Kera di sekitar bandar terutamanya
di negeri Selangor dan Perak. Sejumlah 3,744 sampel telah berjaya diperolehi bermula Ogos
sehingga Disember 2010. Program persampelan akan diteruskan pada tahun 2011 di RHL
Sungai Dusun, Selangor. Semua sampel yang di perolehi masih di dalam kajian Jabatan.
This program was embarked since August 2010 as collaboration between PERHILITAN and

done three times in Sungkai WR which covers three types of vicinity: pristine area, semi-disturbed
area and disturbed area. A total of 96 animals from 16 small mammal species were caught and
released after the samples were taken. Up to eight types of samples taken from each individual
includes blood serum, red blood cell, and several types of swab samples. Organ samples were also
taken from dead animals. Samplings were also done on Macaque species which were obtained
from the Macaque conflict control program in urban areas in Selangor and Perak. A total of 3744
