The 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 کاملThe impact of sarcoptic mange Sarcoptes scabiei on the British fox Vulpes vulpes population
1. Disease epizootics can significantly influence host population dynamics and the structure and functioning of ecological communities. Sarcoptic mange Sarcoptes scabiei has dramatically reduced red fox populations Vulpes vulpes in several countries, including Britain, although impacts on demographic processes are poorly understood. We review the literature on the impact of mange on red fox pop...
متن کاملDemonstrating 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 کاملChemical immobilization of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were immobilized with one of the following drug combinations: ketamine/xylazine (n = 22), ketamine/promazine (n = 35), ketamine/midazolam (n = 13), or tiletamine/zolazepam (n = 22). Foxes given ketamine/xylazine had the shortest induction and longest recovery times relative to other drug combinations, whereas foxes given ketamine/midazolam had the longest induction tim...
متن کاملThe impact of human attitudes on the social and spatial organization of urban foxes (Vulpes vulpes) before and after an outbreak of sarcoptic mange
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) population in the city of Bristol in southwest Britain has been studied continuously since 1977. From 1990, intensive behavioral data have been collected on the social organization and patterns of space utilization of 4-8 fox groups in northwest Bristol. The impact of a mange epizootic on the social organization and territorial behavior of urban foxes, and their inte...
