| sarcoptic mange in red deer from spain: improved surveillance or disease emergence? | concern about emerging diseases has risen in recent years, and multihost situations have become increasingly relevant for wildlife management and conservation. we present data on asturias, northern spain, where 80 mangy red deer (cervus elaphus) have been found since the beginning of the epizootic in chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) in 1993. we combine field and necropsy data with the results of a serosurvey using an in-house elisa test to evaluate if deer mange due to sarcoptes scabiei is an ... | 2008 | 18430519 |
| temporal stability in the genetic structure of sarcoptes scabiei under the host-taxon law: empirical evidences from wildlife-derived sarcoptes mite in asturias, spain. | abstract: background: implicitly, parasite molecular studies assume temporal genetic stability. in this study we tested, for the first time to our knowledge, the extent of changes in genetic diversity and structure of sarcoptes mite populations from pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica) in asturias (spain), using one multiplex of 9 microsatellite markers and sarcoptes samples from sympatric pyrenean chamois, red deer (cervus elaphus), roe deer (capreolus capreolus) and red fox (vulpes vulpes). ... | 2011 | 21794141 |
| genetic epidemiology of sarcoptes scabiei in the iberian wolf in asturias, spain. | during the last decades, attempts have been made to understand the molecular epidemiology of sarcoptes scabiei, and to detect and clarify the differences between isolates from different hosts and geographic regions. two main phenomena have been described: (i) host-taxon derived-sarcoptes mite infection in european wild animals (revealing the presence of three separate clusters, namely herbivore-, carnivore- and omnivore-derived sarcoptes populations in europe) and (ii) prey-to-predator sarcoptes ... | 2013 | 23664709 |
