Between July 2013 and January 2014, we collected
brachial gland exudate (BGE) and saliva samples from Javan slow
lorises using Sterilin swab kits (n ¼ 49). In March 2014,we collected
saliva and BGE samples from greater slow lorises using cotton
swabs stored in sterile glass vials and Salimetrics oral swabs that
we centrifuged (n ¼ 42). The swab was wiped across one or both
brachial glands. We froze all samples until usage.
