Epidemiology of sarcoptic mange in a geographically constrained insular red fox population

Parasites & Vectors
Background Sarcoptic mange is a skin disease caused by the contagious ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei, capable of suppressing and extirpating wild canid populations.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

A review of sarcoptic mange in North American wildlife

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
The “itch mite” or “mange mite”, Sarcoptes scabiei, causes scabies in humans and sarcoptic mange in domestic and free-ranging animals. This mite has a wide host range due to its ability to adapt to new hosts and has been spread across the globe ...

First insights into the movement patterns of maned wolf with sarcoptic mange

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how infectious diseases influence wildlife behavior, particularly in habitats undergoing modification, is crucial for predicting disease outbreaks, assessing impacts on population fitness, and mitigating human health risks. Sarcoptic mange can alter wildlife movement and space use, yet its effects on threatened carnivores remain unclear ...

Occurrence and distribution of sarcoptic mange in wild Neotropical canids

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Sarcoptic mange affects most Neotropical canid species across multiple countries. It represents a widespread yet largely overlooked conservation threat with potential for cross‐species transmission. Coordinated monitoring and management efforts are needed to understand and mitigate its impacts. Abstract Sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease caused

Of microbes and mange: consistent changes in the skin microbiome of three canid species infected with Sarcoptes scabiei mites

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Sarcoptic mange is a highly contagious skin disease caused by the ectoparasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Although it afflicts over 100 mammal species worldwide, sarcoptic mange remains a disease obscured by variability at the individual ...

Monitoring wildlife health for diseases with visible signs by integrating camera traps with marked individuals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To

Use of Human Habitat in an Extreme Desert by the Generalist Red Fox: Risk and Energy Considerations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In the hyper‐arid southern Jordan Rift Valley, Red Foxes predominantly maintain territories in natural habitats but frequently visit human‐modified areas at night to access resources. The study reveals a significant behavioral trade‐off where foxes balance the benefits of human‐provided resources against the elevated energy expenditure and potential ...

Efficacy of orally and topically administered fluralaner (Bravecto®) for treatment of client-owned dogs with sarcoptic mange under field conditions

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Successful canine sarcoptic mange treatment requires immediate efficacy to eliminate active mites, and sustained activity to prevent re-infestation from in-contact animals and fomites.

The dual influence of top‐down and bottom‐up processes on a mesopredator and the consequences for prey

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ecosystem dynamics are shaped by interacting top‐down and bottom‐up processes, yet their relative importance may vary through time following disturbances such as disease outbreaks and changes in apex predator communities. Using a 52‐year time series in south‐central Sweden, we examined how disease, apex predators, and prey availability jointly impact a
