Description and epidemiological implications of S. scabiei infection in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) originating from chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra)

Abstract: The authors describe a case of Sarcoptes scabiei transmission from a chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) kid to three roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) fawns kept in captive cohabitation in a wildlife rehabilitation centre for approximately 4 months. Symptoms in the two male fawns started developing 1 week after skin lesions were noticed in the kid, whereas a delayed (75 days later) appearance of scabies signs was observed in the female fawn. A severe generalised form of scabies rapidly developed in a male fawn, but le… Show more

“…The clinical outcome of sarcoptic mange after interspecific cross-transmission does not depend only on the phylogenetic relationship between the host species, but also on the host immunity and status. This is shown by the different clinical course of each one of the three naïve roe deer that incidentally developed sarcoptic mange after being housed with a mangy chamois [ 23 ]. Therefore, wildb1 might have developed clinical mange partly because its own immune status or previous conditions, apart from exposure to the mite.…”

“…With a low prevalence of sarcoptic mange in the Swedish population of domestic pigs, and the disease eradicated from most commercial herds or kept under control with routine medication in others ( Jacobson et al., 2000 ), it is not clear if or how the wild boar could contract sarcoptic mange from farmed pigs. The fact that Sarcoptes mites only live for short periods of time off their host means that a close, often direct contact between different host species is necessary ( Menzano et al., 2008 ; Mounsey et al, 2010 ). It is possible that the sporadic wild boar cases are due to contact with dead or debilitated mangy red foxes, since the Scandinavian red fox population has suffered from sarcoptic mange since the mid 1970ʼs ( Borg, 1987 ).…”

“…Four studies documented adverse side effects following administration of subcutaneous ivermectin or adjunctive therapies. Side effects included severely loose stools [ 18 ], profuse watery diarrhoea [ 9 ] and death [ 19 , 20 ]. Of the remaining 24 studies, only three studies specifically monitored for or stated an absence of deleterious side effects following treatments [ 21 23 ].…”
