Brushtail Possum Exudative Dermatitis is extremely common, and causes can vary from Habitat loss, stress, competing for territory, pet attacks or interactions with already infected possums. The disease has a potent odor, it is highly contagious between the Brushtail Possum species, and it can also transfer through old possum boxes and hollows, where once infected possums have lived.
