| Summary, etc. | Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome (EUS), formerly known as Ulcerative <br/>Fish Disease, was first recorded in Sri Lanka during late 1987 <br/>and has since been steadily spreading through the wet-zone <br/>areas. The cause of the disease has not yet been determined and <br/>it has been recorded to effect many of our indigenous fresh and <br/>brackish water species.<br/>On receiving reports of fish mortalities within the Sinharaja <br/>Forest Reserve it was decided to undertake a field visit to the <br/>area in order to verify the reports and collect fish and water <br/>samples for analysis. Given the fact that the description of the <br/>disease fitted closely with Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome (EUS), <br/>see appendix 1 for brief report on EUS, a field visit was <br/>undertaken with the following objectives:<br/>1. To verify the presence of EUS.<br/>2. Collect samples for further laboratory level histological, <br/>microbiological and transmission studies on EUS.<br/>3. Carry out water quality studies to determine any relationship <br/>between any water quality parameters and the disease.<br/>4. Add to ?he information on the spread of the disease within <br/>Sri Lanka.<br/>Sinharaja being an important natural heritage both in terms of <br/>its beauty- (to the biologist and layman alike) and as an <br/>invaluable gene pool, it was considered worthwhile monitoring <br/>the turn of events in the reserve witli regards to EUS. |
