Our goal is the development of feasible in situ control of sarcoptic mange in wombat populations. Globally important, the Sarcoptes scabiei mite infects >100 mammal species and is among the 50 most common human diseases, causing health, welfare and population impacts. This infection is treatable, and we will test a new treatment (fluralaner), develop new models to guide management, and conduct replicated field trials. This will enable science-based guidelines, advancing disease control, local eradication, and regulatory approval for wombats. Our research framework is adaptable to other mange-impacted species, and advance methods and theory for control of treatable disease in wildlife.

我们的目标是在袋熊种群中发展可行的原位控制疥螨病。疥螨感染超过100种哺乳动物，是50种最常见的人类疾病之一，对健康、福利和人口造成影响。这种感染是可以治疗的，我们将测试一种新的治疗方法（fluralaner），开发新的模型来指导管理，并进行重复的田间试验。这将使以科学为基础的指导方针，推进疾病控制，局部根除和监管批准袋熊。我们的研究框架适用于其他受芒果影响的物种，并提出了控制野生动物可治疗疾病的方法和理论。
