Traceback of the Psoroptes outbreak in British Columbian bighorn sheep (Ovis Canadensis)

Abstract: Psoroptes are a non-burrowing, ectoparasitic, mange-causing mite that has been documented in American bighorn sheep populations throughout the 19th and 20th centuries; however, it was not seen on Canadian bighorn sheep until 2006. The aim of this study was to determine the potential source of the Psoroptes outbreak in Canadian bighorn sheep. Morphological and molecular analyses were used to compare mites recovered from outbreak-associated bighorn sheep, pet rabbits in Canada, … Show more

“…Genetic analysis using the cox1 gene confirmed the mite species as P. ovis. Previous research has highlighted the reliability of the cox1 gene as a molecular marker for species identification and phylogenetic analysis in mites (11,23). The high sequence identity (99%) with the previously reported sequence (MW590279) of P. ovis from the NCBI database emphasizes the accuracy of this molecular approach.…”

“…The cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene has been extensively utilized as a molecular marker for species identification and phylogenetic analysis of mites including P. ovis (11,23). The primary objective of this work is to analyze mites obtained from pet rabbits in South Korea through cox1 gene sequencing.…”

“…These transmission routes were not explored here since they are not considered to be epidemiologically significant for Psoroptic mange [ 42 ] , even though P. ovis is not considered to be host specific [ 43 ]. Transmission of P. ovis between host species is thought to be a rare occurrence in the field and requires enforced close contact, as seen in a potential P. ovis transmission event between rabbits and bighorn sheep in North America held in captivity together at a game farm [ 44 ].…”
