Affected animals from Tolga scrub, Whiteing Road, and New Powley Road on the Atherton Tableland, North Queensland, Australia; **2006 count is taken from December and includes Lakeside a new camp affected by tick paralysis; $Animals moved to new unknown camp (Lakeside) so searches were incomplete in 2006; $$No details about numbers of dead adult animals available, as too many juvenile animals were in care; number of adult P. conspicillatus given were extrapolated from previous data; #Search for affected animals stopped for 3 weeks because too many juveniles were in care; number of adult and juvenile animals based on seasonal distribution of previous years.
