Concurrent coccidiosis and listeriosis in a Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus)

Eimeria prionotemni ‐associated coccidiosis in a Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus)

“…The wallaby affected in this report was a juvenile, similar to previously reported cases of coccidiosis in macropods (Barker and others 1963, Mykytowycz 1964, Budiarso and others 1971, Barker and others 1972, Finnie 1974, Thiruthalinathan and others 1998, Twomey and others 2008). Stress associated with trauma from male wallabies was considered to have been a predisposing factor for clinical disease in this case.…”

“…COCCIDIOSIS is a recognised cause of protozoal enteritis in macropods (Barker and others 1963, Mykytowycz 1964, Budiarso and others 1971, Barker and others 1972, Finnie 1974, Thiruthalinathan and others 1998, Twomey and others 2008). Six species of Eimeria have been described in the Bennett's wallaby ( Macropus rufogriseus ): Eimeria desmaresti, Eimeria flindersi, Eimeria hestermani, Eimeria macropodis, Eimeria prionotemni and Eimeria toganmainensis (Barker and others 1989).…”

“…The true pathogenicity of each of these species is unclear. E macropodis and E toganmainensis were both identified in a Bennett's wallaby with histologically confirmed coccidiosis; however, the relative contribution of either species to the pathological lesions was not clear (Twomey and others 2008). E macropodis (formerly Eimeria cunnamullensis ) has also been associated with disease in grey kangaroos ( Macropus giganteus ) (Barker and others 1972, Thiruthalinathan and others 1998).…”

“…Wallaby medicine is a developing branch of veterinary medicine worldwide [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Among the diseases described in the literature, parasitic infestations [ 12 ], bacterial diseases of the oral cavity [ 13 ], and cardiomyopathies can be mentioned [ 8 ].…”
