Marsupial Gut Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The study of the gut microbiome in threatened wildlife species has enormous potential to improve conservation efforts and gain insights into host-microbe coevolution. Threatened species are often housed in captivity, and during this process undergo considerable changes to their gut microbiome.

A Poxvirus in a Marsupial Papilloma
Journal of General Virology, 1972 We wish to present some evidence for the implication of an as yet uncharacterized member of the pox group of viruses in producing epidermal papillomata in a marsupial, Setonix brachyurus. Generally neoplasms in marsupials have not been investigated in any great detail (Barker, Calaby & Sharman, 1963), and it is interesting that in the population of S ...

Evolution of Transthyretin in Marsupials [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1995 The evolution of the expression and the structure of the gene for transthyretin, a thyroxine‐binding plasma protein formerly called prealbumin, was studied in three marsupial species: the South American polyprotodont Monodelphis domestica, the Australian polyprotodont Sminthopsis macroura and the Australian diprotodont Petaurus breviceps.

Anaerobic gut fungal communities in marsupial hosts
mBioThe anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) inhabit the alimentary tracts of herbivores. In contrast to placental mammals, information regarding the identity, diversity, and community structure of AGF in marsupials is extremely sparse.

Large area used by squirrel gliders in an urban area, uncovered using GPS telemetry
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis) is a threatened, gliding marsupial that persists in fragmented landscapes despite its restricted capacity to cross large gaps.

Retrospective study of fractures in the white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) from 2020 to 2024 [PDF]
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira: Fractures are a major problem in opossums found in urban environments, and knowledge of fracture location is of great importance for the success of veterinary care for this marsupial, aiming for successful healing. Due to the proximity of urban centers

Parasite-host interaction between ectoparasites (Ixodida & Siphonaptera) and common opossum Didelphisaurita Wied-Neuwied, 1826 (Mammalia: Didelphimorphia), on the mainland and on Santa Catarina coastal islands, Southern Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 This is the first study about the ecological interaction between the ectoparasites and marsupials of the Didelphis genus and the second one about mammals in Santa Catarina State. Three insular populations and a mainland population were sampled. The fleas
