Adopting a one health approach is critical to better understand and mitigate factors driving the emerging concern of AMR. Although the development and transmission of AMR in wildlife is not well understood, there is growing evidence that it is associated with proximity to humans or domestic animals. Papua New Guinea (PNG) faces some unique challenges for zoonotic spillover disease events and transmission of AMR between animals and humans. These challenges arise from the erosion of wildlife habitats due to deforestation and close contact of wildlife with villagers and their village-based livestock raised under free-range systems. Papua New Guinea’s human health system and the animal health field and laboratory services are resource-limited and are facing many human and animal disease challenges. The Fleming Fund Country Grant, implemented by the Burnet Institute Australia, is working with Papua New Guinea government and industry stakeholders to tackle AMR by encouraging information sharing, raising awareness, and supporting laboratory capacity in human and animal health for effective AMR surveillance. In addition, national legislation is being strengthened to support implementation of the Papua New Guinea Antimicrobial Resistance National Action Plan (Government of Papua New Guinea 2019) to encourage the judicious use and effective monitoring of antimicrobial medicines in humans and animals.","PeriodicalId":35849,"journal":{"name":"Australian Zoologist","volume":"31 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139263413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 18,039 koala admission records were collated from 1973 to 2020. Koalas were rescued due to disease, motor vehicle collision, dog attacks, unsuitable environment, bushfire, orphaning, and other reasons. However, the reasons for rescue were not evenly distributed among the rehabilitation groups. Across all rehabilitation groups and all years (1973-2020), the release rate of all admitted koalas was 47.6%. The NSW Koala Strategy identifies an action of “supporting koala rehabilitators” (Pillar 3 Improving the safety and health of koalas), and strong partnerships, including with koala rehabilitators, are “critical to achieving success”. Our study has confirmed that strong partnerships are possible and identified the prevalence of disease and trauma in rescued koalas. While it is not possible to assess the scale of the threats from disease and trauma to koala populations from rehabilitation records alone, we can use the trends in admissions to inform the efficient distribution of resources to rescue and rehabilitation efforts.","PeriodicalId":35849,"journal":{"name":"Australian Zoologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47569901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also concluded that the genus Calyptorhynchus is made up of six monotypic species: Northern Red-tailed Cockatoo C. banksii Latham, 1790; South-eastern Red-tailed Cockatoo C. graptogyne Schodde, Saunders and Homberger, 1988; Forest Red-tailed Cockatoo C. naso Gould, 1837; Inland Red-tailed Cockatoo C. samueli Mathews, 1917; Western Red-tailed Cockatoo C. escondidus Ewart, Joseph and Schodde, 2020; and Glossy Cockatoo C. lathami Temminck, 1807. Formerly, the five red-tailed taxa were regarded as subspecies and the Glossy Cockatoo consisted of three subspecies. In addition, we concluded that the genus Zanda is made up of five monotypic species: two with white subterminal tail bands, Baudin’s Cockatoo Z. baudinii Lear, 1832 and Carnaby’s Cockatoo Z. latirostris Carnaby, 1948; and three with yellow subterminal tail bands, Eastern Yellow-tailed Cockatoo Z. funerea Shaw, 1794, Western Yellow-tailed Cockatoo Z. whiteae Mathews, 1912, and Tasmanian Yellow-tailed Cockatoo Z. xanthanota Gould, 1838.

In this study, we assessed the species diversity of wetland zooplankton in the Lachlan River catchment. Biodiversity sampling is labour-intensive and attained sample size is often not large enough to detect all species present. Therefore, we applied integrated rarefaction and extrapolation sampling curves and asymptotic analysis to estimate species richness. We observed 103 species of rotifers, 29 species of cladocerans and 13 species of copepods, with further 14 rotifers, three cladocerans and four copepods identified at higher than species level, totalling 117 taxa of rotifers, 32 taxa of cladocerans and 17 taxa of copepods from 36 wetland sites across the catchment. The observed zooplankton species included the first record of the rotifer Trochosphaera solstitialis in Australia, and the first record of the rotifers Brachionus lyratus tasmaniensis, Keratella shieli, Lepadella tyleri, Notholca salina and N. squamula and the cladoceran Alona setuloides in NSW. Based on the integrated sampling curves and asymptotic analysis of species richness in wetlands of the Lachlan River catchment, greater additions of rotifers (estimated asymptote: ≈ 145) are more likely to be realised with increasing sample size than those of cladocerans (estimated asymptote: ≈ 36) and copepods (estimated asymptote: ≈ 18).","PeriodicalId":35849,"journal":{"name":"Australian Zoologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46047092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
