Wildlife rehabilitators give blood, sweat and tears in their work with wildlife.

At the Australian Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference in July 2018 in Sydney well over 100 volunteers from multiple states contributed to a study on Q Fever by offering blood samples.

This report published November 2020 concludes that more work needs to be done to promote awareness of this disease and encourage vaccination of wildlife rehabilitators, one of the groups at risk of contracting Q Fever.

There is an emergence of fungal pathogen Nannizziopsis barbatae in free-ranging reptiles.

The condition is caused by fungal pathogen Nannizziopsis barbatae (and is sometimes called ‘Yellow Fungus Disease’). It is well known in captive reptiles but has now also been identified in wild lizards in NSW and several other states. The lizards presented with extensive skin lesions, severe emaciation and loss of toes and tails.

We remind you that only trained individuals should handle reptiles with suspicious skin lesions and appropriate PPE and handling measures should be employed.

Please report suspect reptiles, or any unusual signs of illness of mortality in wildlife to the Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888.
