Snippet: Captive viverrids have also been reported as hosts for a number of diseases listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as 'neglected tropical diseases' (NTD), including rabies in an African civet which displayed neurological signs prior to death (Table 1) (Enurah et al., 1988a) , soiltransmitted helminthiasis (ascarid roundworms in Large Indian civet and Masked palm civets and ancylostome hookworms in Common palm civet and Small Indian civet, .....
Document: Captive viverrids have also been reported as hosts for a number of diseases listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as 'neglected tropical diseases' (NTD), including rabies in an African civet which displayed neurological signs prior to death (Table 1) (Enurah et al., 1988a) , soiltransmitted helminthiasis (ascarid roundworms in Large Indian civet and Masked palm civets and ancylostome hookworms in Common palm civet and Small Indian civet, Table 5 ) (Baylis, 1933; Ajibade et al., 2010; Pradhan et al., 2011) and human African trypanosomiasis in a farmed African civet (Table 3 ) (Njiokou et al., 2006) . These pathogens are considered 'neglected' because they are poorly studied and commonly ignored by donors, policy makers and public health officials (Maudlin et al., 2009) ; however, they continue to cause widespread morbidity and mortality in the poorer regions of the world (Hotez et al., 2007; WHO, 2010) . Identification of the pathogens responsible for NTDs in captive viverrids contributes to our understanding of potential animal reservoirs for these diseases, knowledge which is vital to the development of interventions aimed at their control or elimination (Zinsstag et al., 2007) .
