Bulletin
Number 14 - November 2007 Welcome to Bulletin 14. This Bulletin includes the contents of the Mange Symposium held in October 2007. This information is available on site and printouts and disk copies are supplied on request. This information is provided as part of a grant from “Voiceless” the fund for animals, to whom the Society applied for a grant for the project “Mange Can Be Stopped”. As a result of this application the Society's project, “Mange Can Be Stopped” became one of four contenders for the Voiceless “People's Choice” award which involved voting on line for these projects. The Society was fortunate enough to receive $1,000.00 from this process to assist in the distribution of information about mange. This Bulletin will appear on site with the attached Mange Symposium Presentation and also form the third paper in the series about mange on the research part of the site. The presentation is something that any group is welcome to use for training and distribution. On disk the Symposium presentation is supplied in three pdf formats, one, two and four slides to the page and the flier and schedule of events from the symposium are supplied. The Presentation can be supplied as a power point presentation or as an open office presentation. Please contact research@wombatprotection.org.au or call 02 6493 8245 to order your copy in whatever format best suits your needs. You can also order copies to be sent to vets, rehabilitation groups, sanctuaries or other interested groups or individuals. The next Bulletin will outline the Society's plans for the coming year, announce the AGM and call for interested parties to stand for Directorships. We are particularly interested in hearing from people in South Australia and Victoria to become Directors and people in Tasmania and ACT to become members. The Society's annual Audit is being conducted by Kothes Pty. Ltd. (Merimbula) and will be available to members and lodged with ASIC during December.
JOEYS' NEWSPAGE Eva Davis sent us this great maze some time ago and we promised to let you try it out! Here's your chance. Well done to all those who worked out our microscope picture was of a MITE. The sarcoptes scabiei mite that causes mange in wombats.
