Abstract
Faeces samples were collected from 35 orangutans in Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. The orangutan consists of wild and soft release orangutan in four camp (Gemini, JL, Rasak, Buluh). Samples were collected in November until December 2017. Faeces were examined to measure the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasite in wild and soft-release orangutan. The examination performed by flotation and sedimentation (formalin-ethyl acetate concentration). The results showed the percentage of orangutan infected with gastrointestinal parasite was 91,4%. High prevalences were found for Strongyloides sp. (68,6%), Hookworm (71,4%), Enterobius sp. (20%) and Trichuris sp. (17,1%). Most orangutan infected with mixed infection parasite (62,8%) dominated by a combination between Strongyloides sp. and hookworm and only 28,6% infected with single infection.
