Abstract
Environmental exposure to Sarcoptes scabiei mites in burrows is considered the dominant mechanism of sarcoptic mange transmission among wombats. We document elevated activity of bare-nosed wombats at a burrow with subterranean water access relative to burrows without this resource, suggesting that some burrows may contribute more to mange transmission than others.
