monitoring reproduction in the critically endangered marsupial, gilbert's potoroo (potorous gilbertii): preliminary analysis of faecal oestradiol-17beta, cortisol and progestagens.gilbert's potoroo (potorous gilbertii) was rediscovered in 1994 after having been presumed extinct for 120 years. estimates indicate fewer than 40 individuals remain at two peoples bay nature reserve on the south coast of western australia although a translocated population of approximately 20 animals has recently been established on nearby bald island. a captive breeding facility has been established adjacent to the mainland population but few young have been produced (8 since 1995). faecal lev ...201019539621
theileria gilberti n. sp. (apicomplexa: theileriidae) in the gilbert's potoroo (potorous gilbertii).the morphology and genetic characterisation of a new species of piroplasm identified in the blood of the gilbert's potoroo (potorous gilbertii) from the two peoples bay nature reserve near albany, western australia, is described from blood and tissue samples from 16 gilbert's potoroos. microscopy of blood showed these parasites are highly pleomorphic with a mean length of 1.8 mum and mean width of 0.85 mum. phylogenetic analysis of 18s rrna sequence data identified the piroplasm as a new species ...200919527357
molecular characterization of native australian trypanosomes in quokka (setonix brachyurus) populations from western australia.the quokka, setonix brachyurus, is a vulnerable, small marsupial endemic to western australia. blood samples were collected from quokkas from three different geographical locations; two peoples bay, bald island and rottnest island. the overall prevalence of trypanosomes by nested pcr at the 18s ribosomal rna gene was 57.3% (63/110) with prevalences of 91.4%, 85.3% and 4.9% respectively for two peoples bay, bald island and rottnest island. phylogenetic analysis conducted on 47 18s pcr positives i ...201626697991
