摘要: Abstract Background During the last decades, attempts have been made to understand molecular epidemiology of Sarcoptes scabiei , and detect clarify differences between isolates from different hosts geographic regions. Two main phenomena described: (i) host-taxon derived- mite infection in European wild animals (revealing presence three separate clusters, namely herbivore-, carnivore- omnivore-derived populations Europe) (ii) prey-to-predator Masai Mara ecosystem. Results Using one multiplex 9 microsatellite markers samples sympatric Pyrenean chamois, red deer, fox Iberian wolf, population structure analyses revealed concordance with law described for Europe, two host-derived populations, herbivore- carnivore-derived. Surprisingly, wolf derived had highest genetic diversity among other including subpopulations: similar herbivore-derived another carnivore (fox)-derived population. Conclusions The effect is still supported maintenance clusters’ separation analyzed mites. However, this phenomenon could be modified inclusion a large predator as present work, revealing studied host-taxa suggesting importance wolf's immune system explaining high variability reported C. lupus Further studies host diet, behavior movement, regarding role played by its system, would great help interactions hypotheses, prey-to-predator.
