Demonstrating frequency-dependent transmission of sarcoptic mange in red foxes.
Understanding the relationship between disease transmission and host density is essential for predicting disease spread and control. Using long-term data on sarcoptic mange in a red fox Vulpes vulpes population, we tested long-held assumptions of density- and frequency-dependent direct disease transmission. We also assessed the role of indirect transmission. Contrary to assumptions typical of e...
متن کاملSarcoptic mange in wildlife
Sarcoptic mange is a highly contagious mite infection caused by Sarcoptes scabiei in the skin of domestic and wild mammals. Scabies is a human infection with the same mite. The entire subject of sarcoptic mange in wildlife has been discussed in a recent review (10). The purpose of this paper is not to duplicate, but rather to supplement, that work. Herein, the authors emphasise the dual nature ...
متن کاملThe range of the mange: Spatiotemporal patterns of sarcoptic mange in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) as revealed by camera trapping
Sarcoptic mange is a widely distributed disease that affects numerous mammalian species. We used camera traps to investigate the apparent prevalence and spatiotemporal dynamics of sarcoptic mange in a red fox population in southeastern Norway. We monitored red foxes for five years using 305 camera traps distributed across an 18000 km2 area. A total of 6581 fox events were examined to visually i...
متن کاملSarcoptic mange in Swedish wildlife.
Mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. vulpes appeared among red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Scandinavia (south-west Finland) for the first time in this century in 1967. The disease was most probably introduced by foxes crossing the Gulf of Finland from Estonia. The mange epizootic spread northwards through Finland and reached Sweden in late 1975, when mangy foxes appeared in the northern part of ...
متن کاملSarcoptic mange in Spanish ibex from Spain.
The Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica hispanica) population of the "Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas" Nature Park (Spain) was isolated as the result of a severe epidemic of sarcoptic mange. In this context, the dynamic characteristics of the disease were analyzed in a wild group consisting of 35 animals from the beginning of the epizootic (when the mating period started) to the extinction of...
