ABSTRACT The anti‐parasitic drug moxidectin is a frontline treatment for sarcoptic mange in bare‐nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus), a disease causing significant animal welfare issues and instances of local population declines. Despite widespread usage, knowledge of species‐specific pharmacokinetics of moxidectin in bare‐nosed wombats is still limited ...

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

ABSTRACT Marsupials lack a corpus callosum; in its place Diprodontia have a fasciculus aberrans connecting the hemispheres. However, despite this uniqueness, the realm of marsupial brain anatomy remains largely unexplored, especially through the lens of modern imaging techniques.

We used public databases and citizen science data entered into WomSAT to model and predict the distribution of bare‐nosed wombats across Australia. ABSTRACT Current understanding of bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus) distribution has focused on specific regions, and human–wombat issues (e.g., burrowing leading to undermining fence integrity and ...

Sarcoptic mange in three alpacas treated successfully with amitraz
Sarcoptic mange is a serious skin disease in alpacas that can result in high morbidity and even mortality. Three alpacas were presented with sarcoptic mange that had previously failed to respond to repeated topical applications of eprinomectin, and an ...

First detection of sarcoptic mange in free-ranging wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Switzerland. [PDF]
In Switzerland sarcoptic mange is frequent in free-ranging wild carnivores but until recent years no cases had been recorded in wild ungulates. Since 2010, cases have been observed in wild boar in the cantons of Solothurn, Tessin and Thurgau.

Saving AJ: Designing a quarantine hospital burrow to treat sarcoptic mange in bare-nosed wombats [PDF]
Sarcoptic mange in wombats has reached catastrophic proportions causing mass declines of 70% or more in bare-nosed wombats across New South Wales, Australia. Research found that mange causes extinctions of local wombat populations.
