[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1255883, member: 4191"] It sounds like mange because it is mange. I see your first post identified the parasite as mites. Mites cause mange - according to the research I just completed. I misinterpreted the disease that's spreading among the wolf packs in my initial post. Mange is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog, dogs to wolves, and wolf to wolf. Mange can cause a much greater loss of hair than what was typically seen by the lice infestation in our wolves on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. So my first post in this thread [U]was mistakenly focused on lice, rather than mites/mange[/U]. Here's a link to an informative article on "mange" - based on studies in Yellowstone National Park.

It won't wipe the wolves out. Otherwise wolves would already have been wiped out - as in extinct. They evolve and find a way to survive.
