Abstract excerpt

The endangered spectacled flying fox is a vital species in the Wet Tropics ecosystem of far north Queensland, Australia. However, every year 500-600 spectacled flying foxes are found dead or paralysed in the spectacled flying fox camps during tick season, from September to January, the Australian Spring/Summer. The Australian paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus, produces various neurotoxic holocyclotoxins which...
