    CHARACTERISATION OF EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED AND SPONTANEOUSLY OCCURRING DISEASE WITHIN CAPTIVE BRED DASYURIDS Scott Andrew Lindsay A thesis submitted in fulfillment of requirements for the postgraduate degree of Masters of Veterinary Science Faculty of Veterinary Science University of Sydney March 2014 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY Apart from assistance acknowledged, this thesis represents the unaided work of the author. The text of this thesis contains no material previously published or written unless due reference to this material is made. This work has neither been presented nor is currently being presented for any other degree. Scott Lindsay 30 March 2014. i SUMMARY Neosporosis is a disease of worldwide distribution resulting from infection by the obligate intracellular apicomplexan protozoan parasite Neospora caninum, which is a major cause of infectious bovine abortion and a significant economic burden to the cattle industry. Definitive hosts are canid and an extensive range of identified susceptible intermediate hosts now includes native Australian species. Pilot experiments demonstrated the high disease susceptibility and the unexpected observation of rapid and prolific cyst formation in the fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata) following inoculation with N. caninum. These findings contrast those in the immunocompetent rodent models and have enormous implications for the role of the dunnart as an animal model to study the molecular host-parasite interactions contributing to cyst formation. An immunohistochemical investigation of the dunnart host cellular response to inoculation with N. caninum was undertaken to determine if a detectable alteration contributes to cyst formation, compared with the eutherian models. Selective cell labelling was observed using novel antibodies developed against Tasmanian devil proteins (CD4, CD8, IgG and IgM) as well as appropriate labelling with additional antibodies targeting T cells (CD3), B cells (CD79b, PAX5), granulocytes, and the monocyte-macrophage family (MAC387).

    NSW Vagrant Bird Review

    an atlas of the birds of new south wales and the australian capital territory Vagrant Species Ian A.W. McAllan & David J. James The species listed here are those that have been found on very few occasions (usually less than 20 times) in NSW and the ACT, and are not known to have bred here. Species that have been recorded breeding in NSW are included in the Species Accounts sections of the three volumes, even if they have been recorded in the Atlas area less than 20 times. In determining the number of records of a species, when several birds are recorded in a short period together, or whether alive or dead, these are here referred to as a ‘set’ of records. The cut-off date for vagrant records and reports is 31 December 2019. As with the rest of the Atlas, the area covered in this account includes marine waters east from the NSW coast to 160°E. This is approximately 865 km east of the coast at its widest extent in the south of the State. The New South Wales-Queensland border lies at about 28°08’S at the coast, following the centre of Border Street through Coolangatta and Tweed Heads to Point Danger (Anon. 2001a). This means that the Britannia Seamounts, where many rare seabirds have been recorded on extended pelagic trips from Southport, Queensland, are east of the NSW coast and therefore in NSW and the Atlas area. Conversely, the lookout at Point Danger is to the north of the actual Point and in Queensland but looks over both NSW and Queensland marine waters.

    Intot Obliv i The disappearing native mammals of northern Australia Compiled by James Fitzsimons Sarah Legge Barry Traill John Woinarski Into Oblivion? The disappearing native mammals of northern Australia 1 SUMMARY Since European settlement, the deepest loss of Australian biodiversity has been the spate of extinctions of endemic mammals. Historically, these losses occurred mostly in inland and in temperate parts of the country, and largely between 1890 and 1950. A new wave of extinctions is now threatening Australian mammals, this time in northern Australia. Many mammal species are in sharp decline across the north, even in extensive natural areas managed primarily for conservation. The main evidence of this decline comes consistently from two contrasting sources: robust scientifi c monitoring programs and more broad-scale Indigenous knowledge. The main drivers of the mammal decline in northern Australia include inappropriate fi re regimes (too much fi re) and predation by feral cats. Cane Toads are also implicated, particularly to the recent catastrophic decline of the Northern Quoll. Furthermore, some impacts are due to vegetation changes associated with the pastoral industry. Disease could also be a factor, but to date there is little evidence for or against it. Based on current trends, many native mammals will become extinct in northern Australia in the next 10-20 years, and even the largest and most iconic national parks in northern Australia will lose native mammal species. This problem needs to be solved. The fi rst step towards a solution is to recognise the problem, and this publication seeks to alert the Australian community and decision makers to this urgent issue.

    Inquiry Into the Problem of Feral and Domestic Cats in Australia to The

    28 July 2020 Re: Inquiry into the problem of feral and domestic cats in Australia To the Committee Secretariat, Thank you for this opportunity to make a submission to the Inquiry into the problem of feral and domestic cats in Australia. The Society for Conservation Biology Oceania Section is the peak professional group for conservation biology in Australia, with 400 members that include conservation scientists, policy-makers and managers. Our role is to provide scientific information for management and policy decisions about the long term sustainability and future of ecosystems and their dependent organisms, recognising the importance of ecosystem services for humanity and based on the best available science. Feral and domestic cats have had severe impacts on Australian wildlife since their introduction by Europeans and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. Feral cats threaten a large number of mammal, bird and reptile species and reducing the impacts of cats is critical to the conservation of Australia’s biodiversity. Reducing the impacts of cats is challenging and while there have been many advances in this space over the past 40 or so years, an effective, broadscale control tool remains elusive. As described in this submission, effectively reducing the impacts of cats on vulnerable fauna populations requires approaches that are tailored to the specifics of each management context, consider both lethal and non-lethal approaches, and take a whole-of-ecosystem approach, including accounting for other threats such as fire and grazing, and interactions with foxes, dingoes, rabbits and other species. We address terms of reference a, b, e, f and h in detail below.

Our molecular tree suggests that Thylacinidae is sister to Myrmecobiidae + Dasyuridae. We show robust support for the dasyurid intrafamilial classification proposed by Krajewski & Westerman as well as for placement of most dasyurid genera, which suggests substantial homoplasy amongst craniodental characters pres- ently used to generate morphology-based taxonomies.

Andrew Thompson Murdoch University, 90 South St, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia article info abstract Article history: It has often been asserted that Australian marsupial species are particularly susceptible to Toxoplasma Received 4 June 2015 gondii infection and to clinical toxoplasmosis following infection. This implicates T. gondii as a potential Received in revised form threat to marsupial population viability, and contrasts to what is known of T. gondii in populations of 7 December 2015 several other host species. We reviewed the literature, and found a lack of scientifically robust evidence Accepted 11 December 2015 addressing the occurrence of T. gondii infection in free-ranging populations of Australian marsupial species, and the impacts of the infection on population health. Key limitations included a lack of studies Keywords: in free-ranging marsupial populations, study findings susceptible to substantial chance influences, and Toxoplasma gondii fi fi Toxoplasmosis selection, misclassi cation and confounding biases. The lack of scienti cally robust data available on this Marsupials topic indicates that assertions that free-ranging populations of Australian marsupials are particularly Conservation susceptible to T. gondii infection and to toxoplasmosis are premature. The threat of T. gondii to the Epidemiology viability of free-ranging marsupial populations should therefore be regarded, at this stage, as a hypothesis.
