Can't outrun recurrence: Long‐term outcomes of treating American black bear sarcoptic mange

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing incidence of sarcoptic mange in American black bears (Ursus americanus) has become a concern for wildlife managers in the eastern United States. Inconsistency in the use of single and multi‐dose treatment approaches makes it difficult to evaluate their effects on post‐release outcomes of mange‐rehabilitated bears, which remain ...
