| clinical response of captive common wombats (vombatus ursinus) infected with sarcoptes scabiei var. wombati. | seven common wombats (vombatus ursinus) were exposed and two of these were re-exposed to sarcoptes scabiei var. wombati (acari: sarcoptidae). for wombats exposed for the first time, five exposed to 5,000 mites on their shoulder developed moderate to severe parakeratotic mange after 11 wk compared with two given 1,000 mites that developed mild clinical signs of mange after 11 wk. for re-exposed wombats, one of two given 5,000 mites developed mild parakeratotic mange and the other developed severe ... | 2003 | 12685082 |
| cellular response in the dermis of common wombats (vombatus ursinus) infected with sarcoptes scabiei var. wombati. | the cellular response in the dermis of common wombats (vombatus ursinus) with sarcoptic mange exhibited some typical aspects of an immune response to sarcoptes scabiei. there was an induction phase for wombats experimentally infected with s. scabiei represented by absence of a dermal inflammatory infiltrate for at least 12 days after infection. t lymphocytes, plasma cells, mast cells, and neutrophils then entered the dermis, consistent with a type iv (delayed) hypersensitivity response. in free- ... | 2003 | 12685083 |
| pharmacokinetics of moxidectin in the southern hairy-nosed wombat (lasiorhinus latifrons). | sarcoptic mange, caused by sarcoptes scabiei var. wombati, could be a significant threat to populations of southern hairy-nosed wombats (lasiorhinus latifrons; shnw) in australia. treatment is currently based on the off-label use of various parasiticidal drugs, with limited clinical efficacy trials. our primary aim was to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of a macrocyclic lactone, moxidectin, to assist in the development of effective treatment protocols. pharmacokinetic parameters were de ... | 2011 | 21719829 |
| distribution of life cycle stages of sarcoptes scabiei var wombati and effects of severe mange on common wombats in victoria. | seven female and three male common wombats (vombatus ursinus) collected from forested areas of victoria (australia) over a 10 mo period, 10 april 1997 to 22 february 1998 had at least 30% of their skin affected by severe hyperkeratotic sarcoptic mange. mangy wombats were grazing during the day, could be readily approached, were in poor body condition, and lacked subcutaneous fat. the anterolateral surface of the body was most heavily parasitised with sarcoptes scabiei var wombati followed by the ... | 1999 | 10574522 |
