“…One of the prominent differences between marsupials and eutherians is the prolonged primary immune response of marsupials. IgG levels have been reported as lasting as long as 37 weeks in the Brazilian opossum (Monodelphis domestica) (Croix et al 1989), as long as 26 weeks in the quokka (Setonix brachyurus) (Yadav 1971) and at least 15 weeks in this study. The nature of their secondary response remains unclear yet it appears to be again different to that of eutherians.…”

“…The nature of their secondary response remains unclear yet it appears to be again different to that of eutherians. A typical eutherian immunisation regime does not appear to result in a true secondary response in marsupials (Croix et al 1989;Shearer et al 1995). These regimes have administered boosters prior to the immune response peaking.…”

“…effective antibody response, and following a second immunization at 28 days, the antibody levels were boosted. When these antibody levels are compared with that of another marsupial (the gray short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica), the antibody response by the Tasmanian devil appears far superior as the antibody titers with the Monodelphis peaked at around 500 (Croix et al, 1989), whereas the antibody levels produced by the devil reached a maximum level of around 50,000, i.e., 100 times more effective.…”

“…The dermal cellular immune response to S. scabiei infection has been examined in humans and animals including rabbits, dogs, foxes, chamois, and pigs (Sheahan, 1975;Ackerman, 1985;Van Neste, 1986;Morsy and Gaafar, 1989;Arlian et al, 1994Arlian et al, , 1996aArlian et al, , 1997Arlian, 1996;Little et al, 1998;Rode et al, 1998). Whilst marsupials have an immune system similar to that of eutherian mammals (Croix et al, 1989) differences have been identified such as slower antibody responses in some metatherians including wombats (Johnson et al, 1989;Wilkinson et al, 1992;Skerratt et al, 1997), suggesting that differences may exist in the immune response of wombats to S. scabiei that affect its ability to regulate the abundance of mites. In this study, conventional staining methods as well as immunohistochemistry using antibodies raised against conserved antigens were used to identify cell types in the dermis of common wombats infected with S. scabiei.…”
