 This research paper examined the presence of sarcoptic mange in wild boars in the Aosta Valley region of Italy. It found that the disease is present at low levels but can be spread more easily when certain environmental factors are present. This information could help veterinarians, foresters, biologists and ecologists better manage and plan for the disease's spread. Additionally, satellite imagery was used to create maps showing areas where the disease is most likely to occur. These maps will allow those involved in wildlife management to target their efforts more effectively. This article was authored by Annalisa Viani, Tommaso Orosa, Enrico Borgonia Mondino and others.
