On January 17, 1969, an adult male opossum, Didelpbiis mmiarsupiahis, was brought to the USDA Regional Parasite Research Laboratory, Auburn, Alabama, for parasitologic examination. The opossum had been struck and killed by an automobile near the Laboratory sometime during the previous night. Sugar flotation of a fecal sample revealed the presence of coccidial oocysts, which after sporulation were identified as two species of lsospora. Feathers of a bird, identified as a brownheaded cowbird, Molothirus ater, were also present in the intestinal contents. This report describes the two Isospora species, one of which may be of avian origin.

An attempt was made to differentiate avian pox viruses by means of transmission experiments and cross-immunity tests, and to compare the results with those of other workers. It is concluded that a further clarification of the differences in susceptibility of bird hosts and in virulence of virus strains can only be achieved when the immune status of the experimental birds can be determined by reliable tests.

During the fall and winter of 1967–68 an outbreak of sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabei) occurred in Wisconsin among red foxes (Vulpes fulva) and coyotes (Canis latrans). Infected animals were usually partially hairless, listless, and emaciated. Skin lesions were characteristically thickened, dry, and crusted; the disease sometimes caused death. Mange occurred in the major fox and coyote ranges of the state and apparently affected fox population numbers.

In 1967, Tric/iinella spiralis larvae were found in tissues of a mountain lion (Felis concolor) from the National Zoological Park, Washington, D.C. (Kluge, 1967. Bull. Wildl. Dis. Ass., 5: 110-111). Olsen [1960. J. Parasitol., 46 (S-Sect. 2): 22] found no evidence of trichina in six mountain lions from Colorado. There are apparently no other published reports of trichinae in mountain lions (W. J. Zimmermann, personal communication).

Losses among mallards (Amias platyrhymiclios) wintering on a seepage ditch below the Garrison Dam on the Missouri River at Riverdale, North Dakota, were reported on February 24, 1968. In early February, while conducting their annual winter banding operation, personnel of the North Dakota Game and Fish Department observed approximately 1.000 mallards on the ditch. Approximately 200 mallards were banded after being captured in a walk-in trap baited with corn and wheat located on the bank of the ditch. Snow covered the area and caused the ducks to concentrate at the bait site from the time of the banding operation until the reporting of the losses.

The flagellate Tric/tomnonas gal/imiae has been recovered from the upper digestive tract of a variety of birds, but its primary host is the domestic pigeon (Levine, 1961. Protozoan Parasites of Domestic Animals and Man. Burgess PubI. Co., Minneapolis. p. 98-99). T. gal/mae is believed to cause a disease in birds of prey called “frounce”, which is characterized by yellow caseous nodules in the upper digestive system and loss of weight (Stabler, 1954, Exp. Parasitol., 3(4): 368). However, Trainer et al. (1968, Condor, 70(3): 276-277) found that nematodes of the genus Capi//arii can cause oral and esophageal lesions that could be readily mistaken for “frounce” in wild Gyrfalcons. They also point out some of the reports of “frounce” being due to T. gal/mae may be incorrect since often the diagnoses were made from gross observations alone.
