Resum
The effect of mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) on metapodial growth was studied in 24 uninfested and 16 infested male Iberian ibex from Sierra Nevada National Park (southern Spain). Our results show that infested ibex had smaller metatarsal bones, lower body weight, and a delayed rhythm of ossification, by about 1 year. We conclude that skeletal development and body weight in the Iberian ibex are sensitive to sarcoptic mange.
