Sarcoptic mange outbreak decimates South American camelid populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina

2021-08-18

Abstract excerpt

Sarcoptic mange epidemics can devastate wildlife populations. In 2014, mange was first detected in vicuña ( Vicugna vicugna ) and guanaco ( Lama guanicoe ) in San Guillermo National Park (SGNP), Argentina. This study characterized the potential source and the impacts of the outbreak in 2017–2019. Transect surveys indicated a sharp decrease in the density of live vicuña and guanaco by 68% and 77%, respectively, f...
