Abstract

Sarcoptes scabiei mites and skin lesions consistent with severe sarcoptic mange were identified in a Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) and Bennett's wallaby (Notamacropus rufogriseus) from Tasmania, Australia. The devil and wallaby both had severe hyperkeratotic skin lesions. All stages of mite development were identified in the devil, suggesting parasite reproduction on the host. The devil was also affected by devil facial tumor disease and several other parasites. This expands the global host range of species susceptible to this panzootic mange disease.

塔斯马尼亚袋獾（Sarcophilus harrisii）和贝内特袋鼠（Notamacropus rufogriseus）的疥癣。

摘要：在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州的一只塔斯马尼亚魔鬼（Sarcophilus harrisii）和一只贝内特小袋鼠（Notamacropus rufogriseus）身上发现了疥螨和与严重肉眼疥疮一致的皮损。袋獾和小袋鼠的皮肤都出现了严重的角化过度病变。在魔鬼身上发现了螨虫发育的各个阶段，这表明寄生虫在宿主身上繁殖。袋獾还受到袋獾面部肿瘤病和其他几种寄生虫的影响。这扩大了全球易受这种泛疥癣病影响的物种的宿主范围。

期刊介绍： The JWD publishes reports of wildlife disease investigations, research papers, brief research notes, case and epizootic reports, review articles, and book reviews. The JWD publishes the results of original research and observations dealing with all aspects of infectious, parasitic, toxic, nutritional, physiologic, developmental and neoplastic diseases, environmental contamination, and other factors impinging on the health and survival of free-living or occasionally captive populations of wild animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Papers on zoonoses involving wildlife and on chemical immobilization of wild animals are also published. Manuscripts dealing with surveys and case reports may be published in the Journal provided that they contain significant new information or have significance for better understanding health and disease in wild populations. Authors are encouraged to address the wildlife management implications of their studies, where appropriate.
