Community-based mange treatment for wild bare-nosed wombats

Bare-nosed wombat · Parasitology · Ratified by — pending review

Current position

Proposed: pole-and-scoop cydectin application at burrow entrances, weekly for 8 weeks. Currently under review — evidence base is field-derived and monitoring protocols vary widely.

This guideline is a proposed revision. Community programs have reported strong outcomes but formal efficacy data is limited.

Cydectin 1 mL per 5 kg estimated bodyweight, delivered via burrow flap or scoop applicator.

Weekly application for 8 consecutive weeks, with photographic monitoring where possible.
