A review of parasites in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)

2017-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Threatened by devil facial tumour disease, the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), a carnivorous marsupial confined to Tasmania, Australia, is the subject of conservation management under the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program. Conservation actions such as captive breeding and translocation may impact upon parasite ecology, presenting risk of increased disease through stress and impaired immunity, and by exposin...
