Record 2 2014-01-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
CONT

Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. While it may be something of a relief to learn that this fatal disease affects only Tasmanian devils, marsupial carnivores of Tasmania, its impact on that population has been staggering.

Key term(s)
  • devil facial tumour disease

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies des animaux
CONT

[...] la plus grande menace pour cette espèce est la tumeur faciale du diable de Tasmanie, un cancer fatal. Depuis sa découverte, la population de diables de Tasmanie a connu un déclin de 60 % et, de façon localisée, le déclin peut dépasser 90 % dans les endroits où la maladie est présente depuis plus longtemps.
