A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence, molecular identification, and characteristics of sarcoptic mange in vicu\u00f1as. A total of 3,274 vicu\u00f1as were examined. Following ritual harvesting events (\u201cchaccus\u201d) in 13 Andean communities. The presence of mange mites was determined by the skin scraping technique and confirmed by PCR analysis using specific primers for the ITS2 gene of Sarcoptes scabiei. The presence of mange mites was also confirmed by microscopy using samples taken from wallows. A data collection form was used to register the characteristics of the vicu\u00f1as sampled. The prevalence of sarcoptic mange was 4.9% (95% CI: 4.1 - 5.6%). All samples from wallows tested positive (9\/9). Importantly, the presence of the species S. scabiei was molecularly confirmed. Adult females with regular body condition were more susceptible to sarcoptic mange, although the lesions were mild. This study confirms the presence of S. scabiei in semi-captive vicu\u00f1as and points to the possible role of wallows in the dissemination of Sarcoptes mites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612024030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,9]],"date-time":"2024-07-09T03:43:48Z","timestamp":1720496628000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Epidemiology
