| epizootiology of sarcoptic mange in a population of cantabrian chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) in northwestern spain. | in may of 1993, an epizootic of sarcoptic mange (sarcoptes scabiei) was detected in the chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) population of the cantabrian mountains in northwestern spain. the epizootic initially spread across an area inhabited by some 1600 chamois. mortality was lower than reported for other populations of ungulates. the maximum number of animals were affected from february to may. four red deer (cervus elaphus) and a roe deer (capreolus capreolus), were diagnosed with sarcoptic m ... | 1997 | 9477502 |

| experimental infection of chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) with sarcoptes scabiei derived from naturally infected goats. | two chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica parva) out of a group of three were experimentally infected with sarcoptes scabiei derived from a naturally infected domestic goat. one of the chamois presented the first clinical manifestations (papules and desquamation) at 7 days post-infection, after 22 days crusts and alopecia appeared and after 41 days pruritus. the other chamois presented desquamation after 15 days and papules after 21 days and crusts and alopecia after 31 days. all these clinical manifesta ... | 2000 | 11244870 |
| 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 |
| polymorphisms at mhc class ii drb1 exon 2 locus in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica). | chamois (rupicapra spp.) are mountain ungulates from southern and central europe and the near east. a newly reported border disease virus (bdv) has affected the easternmost populations of pyrenean chamois, leading to a dramatic population decrease that may drive to genetic variability loss. the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) is a sensitive marker for genetic variation of populations: polymorphism on the mhc genes is affected both by pathogens and population dynamics and it is ecologicall ... | 2012 | 22425496 |
| evaluation of three enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for sarcoptic mange diagnosis and assessment in the iberian ibex, capra pyrenaica. | sarcoptic mange is a contagious skin disease caused by the mite sarcoptes scabiei, affecting different mammalian species worldwide including the iberian ibex (capra pyrenaica), in which mortalities over 90 % of the population have been reported. no efficient diagnostic methods are available for this disease, particularly when there are low mite numbers and mild or no clinical signs. in this study, three enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisa) developed for dog (elisa a), cantabrian chamois (r ... | 2016 | 27769278 |
