A total of 42 ticks comprising Ixodes tasmani(n= 41) and Ixodes trichosuri(n= 1) were collected from wild koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) at the Koala Convention Centre, Philip Island, Victoria, Australia and screened for the presence of Bartonellausing the target gene gltA. Bartonella-like ...
"Just like our native wildlife, the new bacterium discovered is unique to Australia and unique to ticks that bite echidnas," said Dr Oskam. The new bacterium was found in ticks removed from echidnas in Queensland and New South Wales, but not in Victoria, with Dr Oskam admitting further res...

To date, almost 900 species of ticks have been described. The three existing families consist of the Argasidae (soft ticks; ca. 191 species), the Ixodidae (hard ticks; ca. 702 species) and the Nuttalliellidae with only one species (Nuttalliella namaqua).
These native Australian marsupials are found in a variety of habitats across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and the southwest of Western Australia. All species in this genus have the unusual physiological feature of male semelparity (total male mortality) after a single ...
rattus and ticks in an urban remnant forest in Australia. We also investigated one of the key questions about tick and general parasite ecology: what factors make some hosts carry more parasites than other hosts in a population (Bize et al., 2008). There are numerous potential reasons why ...
The populations from central South Australia were separated on the dendrogram from those in south eastern South Australia, Victoria and Flinders Island (fig. 2), because of high frequencies of alternative alleles at two loci, Pk and G6pd. Overall, however, genetic distances between eastern ...
