Abstract
Surveys were made of the worm burdens of feral goats, possums and Kangaroo Island Wallabies from places where macropods and ungulates graze together. Sheep and rabbits were experimentally infected with Labiostrongylus eugenii, a strongyle of the Kangaroo Island Wallaby. Neither of these investigations gave any evidence to suggest that cross-transmission of strongyles between macropods and domestic stock could occur.Keywords
