Abstract
We report disease due to Dermatophilus congolensis infection in three of 13 (23%) platypuses (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) from a catchment in Tasmania, Australia. This pathogen has not previously been reported in platypuses. Two of the three infected platypuses had extensive scab formations, but no substantial hair loss was apparent.
