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.

摘要

在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州发现的一只袋獾（Sarcophilus harrisii）和一只贝氏条纹袋狸（Notamacropus rufogriseus）身上发现了疥螨和与严重疥螨病一致的皮肤病变。这只袋獾和袋狸都患有严重的角质化皮肤病变。在袋獾身上发现了螨虫发育的所有阶段，表明寄生虫在宿主身上繁殖。这只袋獾还感染了袋獾面部肿瘤病和其他几种寄生虫。这扩大了对这种流行的疥螨病敏感的全球宿主范围。
