Yellowstone s gray wolf population was reintroduced in 1995. Those first 35 wolves were given vaccinations and treated for parasites to give them a better chance of survival. Since then, the packs have slowly come into contact with different diseases and parasites. In 2007, the first case of mange was reported in Yellowstone s wolves and they ve been dealing with it ever since.
Finding A Common Link
Mange is a fairly common mammalian disease caused by mites that results in itchy skin and can lead to hair loss from incessant scratching, as well as weight loss, secondary infections, and even death. But each animal deals with the disease in its own way, which led researchers to search for a commonality between wolves that beat the disease relatively easily.
