Prevalence ot infection in native mammals was as follows; <jats:italic>Macropus gigantcus<\/jats:italic>, 59%; <jats:italic>M. rufogriseus banksianus<\/jats:italic>, 15%; <jats:italic>Wallabia bicolor<\/jats:italic>, 5%; <jats:italic>Vombatus ursinus<\/jats:italic>, 30%; <jats:italic>Trichosurus vulpecula<\/jats:italic>, 5%; and <jats:italic>Rattus fuscipes<\/jats:italic>, 4%. Collection sites were assigned to one of two categories. Prevalence was higher in macropodids collected on agricultural pastures grazed by sheep and cattle (category A) than in macropodids collected in forested areas variably grazed by livestock (category B). A high prevalence of infection (82%) was recorded In <jats:italic>M. giganteus<\/jats:italic> in an area from which sheep and cattle had been excluded for 15 years. Prevalence of <jats:italic>F. hepatica<\/jats:italic> infection in <jats:italic>V. ursinus<\/jats:italic> was similar in be two habitat categories; however, within forested areas infection was more common in <jats:italic>V. ursinus<\/jats:italic> collected near swamps and creeks than those taken from drier ridges. The presence of habitat suitable for the snail intermediate host, <jats:italic>Lymnaea tomentosa<\/jats:italic>, and Utilization of this habitat by domestic and native mammals are important epidemiological factors. Moderate numbers of flukes (1\u201395) and faecal egg production (1\u2010195 eggs per gram of faeces(EPG)) in <jats:italic>M. giganteus and M.r banksianus<\/jats:italic> emphasize their suitability as hosts and contaminators of pasture. Small numbers of flukes and conspicuous hepatic lesions in <jats:italic>V. ursinus<\/jats:italic> suggest moderate resistance to infection. The low prevalence and small number of flukes in <jats:italic>T. vulpccula<\/jats:italic> was attributed to the arboreal habit of this host. <jats:italic>R. fuscipes<\/jats:italic> is susceptible to infection but infected individuals were found in only one of numerous forest areas with suitable snail habitual. Feeding behaviour is probably responsible for the absence of <jats:italic>F. hepatica<\/jats:italic> infection in <jats:italic>W. bicolor<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Rattus lutreolus<\/jats:italic> in forested areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/icb.1981.62","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,27]],"date-time":"2007-11-27T10:15:08Z","timestamp":1196158508000},"page":"713-721","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["PREVALENCE OF <i>FASCIOLA HEPATICA<\/i> INFECTION IN NATIVE MAMMALS IN SOUTHEASTERN AUSTRALIA"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"David M","family":"Spratt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Wildlife Research, CSIRO P.O.
