Here records of mange in alpine wild ungulates and its spread over time across the eastern parts of the European Alps are reviewed. First cases were recorded from Austria in 1824, and epizootic outbreaks have been described since then from the mountainous regions of Austria (mostly Tyrol, Carinthia, and Styria), Germany (Bavaria), Italy (Udine and Trentino) and Slovenia. Switzerland, by contrast, has so far been free of mange except for cases in wild boar, indicating that this species is not a reservoir host of sarcoptic mites for other ungulate species in the European Alps, and that, so far, the disease in ruminant ungulates is restricted to the eastern and central parts of the Alps. Mutual transmission among wild and domestic ruminants is possible and, together with the protection of vulnerable wildlife, is also a reason for monitoring and, if necessary, intervention to contain mange outbreaks. eng Major Histocompatibility Complex; Chamois Rupicapra; Alpine Ibex; Scabies; Alleles; Boar 2024-02-28T10:11:21.638Z LOMv1.0 Author BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Unterköfler;Maria Sophia; FN:Maria Sophia Unterköfler X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2947-1423 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Joachim;Anja; FN:Anja Joachim X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3082-6885 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Ferroglio;Ezio; FN:Ezio Ferroglio END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Schausberger;Magdalena; FN:Magdalena Schausberger END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Deutz;Armin; FN:Armin Deutz END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Gressmann;Gunther; FN:Gunther Gressmann END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Kübber-Heiss;Anna; FN:Anna Kübber-Heiss X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6096-3835 END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 application/pdf 2804577 https://phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at/o:2648 https://phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at/api/object/o:2648/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline
