Abstract

This study is the largest and most comprehensive study of health and disease in small mammals in northern Australia and is one of a small number of studies worldwide to have approached investigation of wildlife populations in this comprehensive manner. A total of 281 individuals from four target species were examined and sampled under anaesthesia across five main sites in the Top End of the NT, from June 2013 to Nov 2014. Non-invasive samples (ticks and faeces) were collected from a further 113 animals.,
