Anti-Parasitic Efficacy of Some Essential Oils/Extracts Against Itch Mite, Sarcoptes scabiei

Sarcoptic mange severity is associated with reduced genomic variation and evidence of selection in Yellowstone National Park wolves (Canis lupus)

“…Poor body condition may also be influenced by age, as adult wolves exhibited worse mange than yearlings. This finding is consistent with reports for age/mange relationships in Iberian wolves and coyotes (Oleaga et al., 2011; Pence et al., 1983), and divergent from reports in red foxes and dogs (Fazal et al., 2014; Feather et al., 2010; Newman, Baker, & Harris, 2002). These differences in the literature, and our study in particular, may result from the demographics of the dataset.…”

“…We chose this measure to represent genetic diversity as standardized H O provided the most inclusive estimate of genome-wide variation without overparameterizing candidate models. We then formulated a priori hypotheses about how each variable may affect mange infection severity based on existing literature (Table S1; Almberg et al, 2012Almberg et al, , 2015Candille et al, 2007;Cross et al, 2016;DeCandia et al, 2018;Fazal, Cheema, Maqbool, & Manzoor, 2014;Feather, Gough, Flynn, & Elsheikha, 2010;Mech & Boitani, 2003;Oleaga et al, 2011;Pence et al, 1983;Spielman, Brook, Briscoe, et al, 2004;Stahler et al, 2013).…”
