    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Sarcoptic mange severely impacts Brazilian maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus). This study classified disease severity in 20 wolves, revealing 50% had extensive body involvement and severe lesions, requiring intensive care.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Wildlife Conservation
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Sarcoptic mange poses a significant threat to Brazilian carnivores, particularly the endangered maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus).
    • Recent outbreaks necessitate understanding the clinical presentation of sarcoptic mange in maned wolves.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the clinical manifestations and lesion severity of sarcoptic mange in maned wolves.
    • To classify affected maned wolves based on disease extent and lesion type.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluation of 20 maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) in Southeast Brazil between 2008 and 2023.
    • Classification of wolves based on body surface area affected (Level I-IV) and lesion severity (Type A-C).

    Main Results:

    • 50% of evaluated maned wolves (10/20) exhibited Level IV sarcoptic mange (76-100% body affected).
    • 50% of wolves (10/20) presented with Type B lesions, while 25% (5/20) had severe Type C lesions.
    • Maned wolves with severe clinical manifestations (III-C and IV-C) required intensive veterinary care in captivity.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical signs of sarcoptic mange in maned wolves vary significantly in severity and body surface area affected.
    • Diagnostic challenges due to low test sensitivity highlight the need for combined diagnostic approaches.
    • Integrated diagnostic protocols, including serology, skin scrapings, and histopathology, are recommended for accurate sarcoptic mange diagnosis in maned wolves.
