  • Cover photo description:
  • The coyote Canis latrans is a species of canine native to North America. Mange is a type of skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Parasitic mites that cause mange in mammals embed themselves in either skin or hair follicles in the animal, depending upon their genus. Sarcoptes spp. burrow into skin, while Demodex spp. live in follicles. Sarcoptic mange occurs in coyotes and other mammals when a parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei burrows down into the skin and causes hair loss. Constant scratching compounds the problem and leads to open lesions and sores, thereby allowing infections to develop. Ivermectin, injected subcutaneously and delivered multiple times at a dose rate of between 200–400 µg/kg, was found to be the most commonly used acaricide and effective in the treatment of sarcoptic mange in both captive and free-living wildlife such as coyotes.
