WHA Lorikeet paralysis syndrome FS update
Hi everyone,
Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their dedication to the project this year. After the unprecedented number of LPS cases in February and March we received a huge increase in both members and observations which was fantastic! We have reached 226 members and 454 observations! What an amazing achievement in such a short space of time.
For those that do not know, Wildlife Health Australia (WHA) is the independent coordinating body for wildlife health in Australia. One of the many things WHA does is produce and regularly update Fact Sheets which contain brief, factual information on a wide range of diseases, both infectious and non-infectious, that impact Australian wildlife and feral animals. There are approximately 150 Fact Sheets available on their website - https://wildlifehealthaustralia.com.au/Resource-Centre/Fact-Sheets.
They have recently updated their Fact Sheet on Lorikeet paralysis syndrome which includes information on the recent outbreak, the veterinary, wildlife hospital and rehabilitator response, and WHA assistance. You can find this factsheet through either of these links:

Thank-you to everyone for your continued interest in the project and we look forward to seeing more of your observations. Stay safe and happy Rainbow lorikeet spotting!
