It has a discontinuous distribution, with northern populations Colombia and Venezuela, southern Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay. We reviewed specimens assigned to E. compared them these from populations. Based on morphologic, morphometric, molecular analyses, we support recognition as new species. This distributed Llanos Orinoco region Venezuela (and likely Guyana). sp. nov. morphologically...

Sarcoptic mange is a highly contagious, worldwide disease that affects the skin of mammals, including humans. It caused by mite Sarcoptes scabiei, however, information available in wild mammal populations world, and particularly Colombia limited. Here, we document new case sarcoptic an Andean porcupine (Coendou quichua) from region Colombia. We morphologically molecularly confirmed as S. scabiei documented histopathology associated with scabies, show different stages life cycle samples. Our...
