The disease causes thickening of the skin, pruritus, alopecia and deep fissures in the skin of infected animals, and ultimately death if left untreated. In Australia, there are approvals from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority to use moxidectin for treating sarcoptic mange in bare\u2010nosed wombats; however, few published literatures document the success of treatment regimens. Two adult male bare\u2010nosed wombats presented with dermatitis, erythema and crusting of the skin. Evaluation of skin scrapings confirmed the presence of live <jats:italic>Sarcoptes scabiei<\/jats:italic>. Both wombats were treated with three 100\u2010mL doses of moxidectin topically poured on to the dorsal backline approximately 7 days apart. Both animals showed improvement, with skin becoming clear of crusting and dermatitis, and no <jats:italic>S. scabiei<\/jats:italic> mites were present on either animal after 2 weeks. Here, we presented two clinical scenarios of sarcoptic mange in wombats that were successfully treated with three 100\u2010mL doses of moxidectin applied topically. We recommend this treatment be used where wombats can be identified and monitored throughout their recovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]],"date-time":"2024-10-22T13:10:02Z","timestamp":1729602602000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Treatment of Sarcoptic Mange in Wombats With Topical Moxidectin"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6657-5435","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayley J.","family":"Stannard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences, Charles Sturt University  Wagga Wagga New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie B.","family":"Wynan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jarake Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd  Nimmitabel New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Wombat Protection Society of Australia  Tomerong New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ray J.","family":"Wynan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jarake Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd  Nimmitabel New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Cox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wombat Protection Society of Australia  Tomerong New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Howard","family":"Ralph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Cross Wildlife Care  Braidwood New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6328-9388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregory S.","family":"Doran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences, Charles Sturt University  Wagga Wagga New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Gulbali Institute, Charles Sturt University, Albert Pugsley Place  Wagga Wagga New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Wildlife in Australia \u2013 Healthcare and Management","author":"Booth R.","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijppaw.2022.04.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","unstructured":"Brown A.
