Collection of biological samples from pteropid bats requires chemical restraint of the bats to minimize risks to humans and stress to the bat. The effectiveness of an intravenous combination of ketamine and xylazine for short-term restraint of wild-caught variable flying foxes (Pteropus hypomelanus) in a field situation was evaluated. Eight adult male variable flying foxes were injected intravenously with 0.1 ml of ketamine and xylaxine containing 5 mg of ketamine and 1 mg of xylazine. The mean induction time was 80 +/- 20 sec, and mean immobilization time was 26 +/- 10 min. The ketamine-xylazine combination used in this study produced effective short-term immobilization of wild variable flying foxes for the collection of biological samples.
从狐蝠采集生物样本需要对蝙蝠进行化学约束，以将对人类的风险和对蝙蝠的应激降至最低。评估了氯胺酮和赛拉嗪静脉注射组合在野外对野生捕获的马来大狐蝠（Pteropus hypomelanus）进行短期约束的有效性。八只成年雄性马来大狐蝠静脉注射了0.1毫升含有5毫克氯胺酮和1毫克赛拉嗪的氯胺酮和赛拉嗪。平均诱导时间为80±20秒，平均固定时间为26±10分钟。本研究中使用的氯胺酮-赛拉嗪组合对野生马来大狐蝠进行生物样本采集产生了有效的短期固定效果。
