The “itch mite” or “mange mite”, Sarcoptes scabiei, 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 S. scabiei 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 ( Vulpes vulpes ), gray wolves ( Canis lupus ), coyotes ( Canis latrans ), and American black bears ( Ursus americanus ).

A phylogenetic analysis of relationships is carried out among the skin-inhabiting mites presently included in the families Rhyncoptidae, Audycoptidae and Sarcoptidae. The analysis included eight taxa (five genera of follicle associates and three subfamilies of skin-burrowing sarcoptids) and 41 characters, and generated a single most parsimonious tree of length 60 with a consistency index of 0.745. The genus

“…Sarcoptes scabiei has been isolated from American black bears exhibiting advanced skin disease (Fitzgerald et al, ; Schmitt, Cooley, Friedrich, & Schillhorn van Veen, ). Another mite, Ursicoptes americanus , has been implicated in black bear mange, but it has not been proven to be zoonotic (Yunker, Binninger, Keirans, Beecham, & Schlegel, ).…”

Captive and free-ranging wild bears can carry and transmit several zoonotic pathogens. A review of nearly 90 years of scientific publications concerning confirmed and potential zoonotic diseases that can be present in any of the eight species of bears in the world was conducted. The findings were organized amongst the following disease sections: bacterial, viral, protozoal, mycotic, helminth and arthropod-borne.The most commonly reported pathogens of concern were of parasitic (Trichinella, Toxoplasma) and bacterial (Francisella, Brucella) origin.
