The vervet monkey is on its back on a portable table when we first catch a glimpse of him. Amanda Salb, a veterinarian, holds the primate, as another vet carefully injects the animal's upper eyelid with tuberculin. The monkey doesn't flinch. It is fully sedated. "We are conducting a quarterly check-up and checking for TB," Salb says after removing her mask. The vervet is one of hundreds of animals at the Lilongwe Wildlife Trust in the Malawian capital.http://tinyurl.com/jf9ksl3
