The "itch mite" or "mange mite", causes scabies in humans and sarcoptic mange in domestic and free-ranging animals. This mite has a wide host range due to its ability to adapt to new hosts and has been spread across the globe presumably through human expansion. While disease caused by has been very well-studied in humans and domestic animals, there are still numerous gaps in our understanding of this pathogen in free-ranging wildlife. The literature on sarcoptic mange in North American wildlife is particularly limited, which may be due to the relatively limited number of clinically-affected species and lack of severe population impacts seen in other continents. This review article provides a summary of the current knowledge of mange in wildlife, with a focus on the most common clinically-affected species in North America including red foxes (), gray wolves (), coyotes (), and American black bears ().
“疥螨”或“痒螨”可导致人类患疥疮以及家畜和野生动物患疥螨病。这种螨虫由于能够适应新宿主，因而宿主范围广泛，据推测它是通过人类扩张而传播至全球的。虽然由该螨虫引起的疾病在人类和家畜中已得到深入研究，但我们对其在野生动物中的了解仍存在诸多空白。关于北美野生动物疥螨病的文献特别有限，这可能是由于临床受影响的物种数量相对较少，以及在其他大陆未观察到严重的种群影响。这篇综述文章总结了当前关于野生动物疥螨病的知识，重点关注北美最常见的临床受影响物种，包括赤狐、灰狼、郊狼和美洲黑熊。
