To determine whether black bears in eastern North Carolina have exposure to Sarcoptes scabiei, serum samples from hunter-harvested black bears (n=45) were collected and evaluated for antibodies using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay previously validated in black bears. No dermal lesions consistent with sarcoptic mange were identified in the sampled bears. The seroprevalence among these asymptomatic bears was 18%, with no significant difference between sexes or association with age. This suggests that exposure to Sarcoptes scabiei occurs within the population, and highlights the importance of serosurveys in regions without a history of clinical mange.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-20-00091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]],"date-time":"2021-07-05T09:54:02Z","timestamp":1625478842000},"page":"628-631","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Seroprevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei in Free-Ranging Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in Eastern North Carolina, USA"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Emma","family":"Houck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Medicine Consortium, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, 1060 William Moore Dr., Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colleen","family":"Olfenbuttel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, 1293 Laurel Bluffs, Pittsboro, North Carolina 27312, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Stoskopf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Medicine Consortium, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, 1060 William Moore Dr., Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzanne","family":"Kennedy-Stoskopf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Medicine Consortium, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, 1060 William Moore Dr., Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"12","unstructured":"SK.
