RESUMO
CASE REPORT: Mortality of northern corroboree frog tadpoles and eggs occurred in association with Tetrahymena-like ciliates. The predominant lesions in the tadpoles were inflammation and necrosis of the dermis and skeletal muscle. Some of the egg capsules also contained ciliates, but were overgrown with bacteria and fungi. CONCLUSION: Disease occurred, secondary to underlying husbandry issues, and resolved following their correction.

A wild adult male swamp wallaby from Victoria was found to be infested with Sarcoptes scabiei. Hyperkeratotic skin lesions were confined predominantly to the head and shoulders. This is the first report of sarcoptic mange in a swamp wallaby.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the surgical repair of the fractured avian coracoid and compare release rates back to the wild for birds treated surgically with those treated conservatively. DESIGN: Medical records of 17 birds presented to Healesville Sanctuary with fractured coracoids were examined retrospectively. Nine birds were treated conservatively and eight birds were treated surgically. Release rates back to the wild were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Of the nine birds treated conservatively two were released back to the wild. Of the eight birds treated surgically six were released back to the wild. CONCLUSIONS: In this study greater success at returning birds with fractured coracoids to the wild was achieved with surgical repair than conservative treatment. Surgical repair is recommended for birds intended to be released back into the wild.

From June 1985 to November 1992 eight eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) and six Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii), held at institutions in Australia and Canada, developed progressive blindness and posterior paresis progressing to paralysis. All were aged individuals. At necropsy white matter tracts, particularly in the spinal cord, optic tracts, and cerebellum, contained evidence of severe axon degeneration with vacuolation and macrophage infiltration. The surrounding tissue had evidence of gliosis. The etiology of the condition is unknown but may be a form of age-related degeneration.
