Abstract

Dermatitis associated with natural infestation of a yellow-footed rock wallaby (Petrogale xanthopus xanthopus) with larvae of the chigger mite, Odontacarus (Leogonius) adelaideae is described. This record extends the known host range of O. adelaideae and is the first from a native animal in southern Australia.
