Abstract

Sarcoptes scabiei infestation was diagnosed in two freshly dead free-ranging pampas foxes (Pseudalopex gymnocercus) in the Gran Chaco, Bolivia. Diagnosis was made based on histologic evaluation of skin biopsies and identification of the parasite from skin scrapings. Characteristic gross lesions consistent with mange were noted in 19 of 94 observations of free-ranging pampas foxes in the region from December 1998 to January 2000. None of 16 crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous) observed during the same time period had visible lesions consistent with scabies. These are the first case reports of S. scabiei in pampas foxes.

摘要

在玻利维亚大查科地区，两只刚死亡的野生潘帕斯狐（Pseudalopex gymnocercus）被诊断出感染了疥螨。诊断是基于皮肤活检的组织学评估以及从皮肤刮片中鉴定出寄生虫。在1998年12月至2000年1月期间，对该地区94只野生潘帕斯狐的观察中，有19只发现了与疥癣相符的典型肉眼病变。在同一时期观察的16只食蟹狐（Cerdocyon thous）中，没有一只出现与疥疮相符的可见病变。这些是潘帕斯狐感染疥螨的首例病例报告。
