Bilbies can be susceptible to several diseases, including viral infections like the calicivirus, which affects rabbits and can impact bilby populations indirectly through ecosystem changes. They are also at risk from bacterial infections, such as those caused by parasites and pathogens that affect their habitat. Additionally, diseases like mange, caused by mites, can pose threats to their health. Conservation efforts are crucial to monitor and manage these risks in their natural environments.
