First photographic evidence of mange manifestation in Panna Tiger Reserve, India
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
We report the first ever photographic evidence of mangeinfested
Golden Jackal Canis aureus from Panna Tiger Reserve, central
India. The infected animals were photo-captured during the ongoing
camera trap sampling in 2019 as a part of a long-term study on the
ecology of reintroduced tigers and co-predators. This new record
triggers wildlife health and monitoring issues and, subsequently,
the importance of restricting the disease outbreak and treatment
measures among other associated species within the protected area.
