Sarcoptic mange ( var. ) reached Scandinavia in the mid-1970’s and is mainly prevalent among red foxes () ( 1987). In the laboratory, foxes succumb 2–4 months after being infested, and it is commonly thought that carriers in the wild exhibit an abnormal behaviour and quickly die ( 1984, 1990). However, there is a lack of comparative data from free-ranging animals to contribute to the ecology of the species in general and ta supplement the content of the above selected references in particular (e.g. 1988). Using telemetry studies, I have compared the behaviour in winter of 2 mange infested and 2 healthy red foxes. The work took place in 1987 and 1990 in a boreal area adjacent to farmland in central Norway (63° 20′N 10° 45′E).
疥螨病（变种）于20世纪70年代中期传入斯堪的纳维亚半岛，主要在赤狐中流行（[文献1987]）。在实验室中，狐狸在感染后2至4个月死亡，人们普遍认为野外的携带者表现出异常行为并很快死亡（[文献1984]、[文献1990]）。然而，缺乏来自自由放养动物的比较数据，无法全面了解该物种的生态，特别是补充上述所选参考文献的内容（例如[文献1988]）。通过遥测研究，我比较了2只感染疥螨病的赤狐和2只健康赤狐在冬季的行为。这项工作于1987年和1990年在挪威中部靠近农田的北方地区（北纬63°20′，东经10°45′）进行。
