Pelodera strongyloides in the critically endangered Apennine brown bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus)

“…Occasionally, third-stage larvae (Cliff and Anderson, 1980) are capable of invading the skin causing pruritic and acute dermatitis in several mammalian species. Dermal peloderosis has been reported in sheep (Ramos et al, 1996), dog (Cȃpitan and Noli, 2017;Saari and Nikander, 2006;Schwartzman, 1964), cattle (Rhode et al, 1953), seal (Phoca vitulina) (McHuron et al, 2013), horse (Rashmir-Raven et al, 2000), Guinea pig (Röthig et al, 2016), black bear (Dykstra et al, 2012;Fitzgerald et al, 2008), and in humans (Pasyk, 1978;Tanaka et al, 2004).…”
