Cases have been observed in bare\u2010nosed (\n                    <jats:italic>Vombatus ursinus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and southern hairy\u2010nosed (\n                    <jats:italic>Lasiorhinus latifrons<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) wombats but not the northern hairy\u2010nosed wombat (\n                    <jats:italic>Lasiorhinus krefftii<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). Here, we map the prevalence and model habitat suitability for sarcoptic mange that infests wombats across Australia. Presence\u2010only data was isolated from wombat observation records entered into the citizen science project Wombat Survey and Analysis Tool (WomSAT). Environmental variables were collated from publicly available databases and prepared for analysis in ArcGIS Pro. Maxent modelling software was used to generate the habitat suitability model for wombat sarcoptic mange infestations. Sarcoptic mange contributed to 26.2% of all observations and were most frequent in Victoria (VIC) followed by New South Wales (NSW). The most important factors (percent contribution) in our model were Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA; 25.7%), land use (24.5%), maximum summer temperature (15.1%), rain in summer season (10.7%), Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD; 7.6%) and the hourly relative humidity at 3\u2009pm (7.3%). All remaining environmental variables had very low to zero effect on the model. Our predictive presence model identified 73 local government areas (LGAs) across NSW (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200920; 79.27\u2009km\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), VIC (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200927; 265.46\u2009km\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and Tasmania (TAS;\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200926; 21.52\u2009km\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) that had \u2018highly suitable\u2019 conditions and 79 that had \u2018suitable\u2019 conditions (3467.12\u2009km\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) for sarcoptic mange occurrence. In Queensland (QLD), only one LGA had \u2018suitable\u2019 (0.61\u2009km\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) habitat for sarcoptic mange and no areas that were \u2018highly suitable\u2019.

The habitat in the ACT was predominantly \u2018not suitable\u2019 for sarcoptic mange.
