I have read were bobcats can get mange but have never seen an instance of it here .If its spices oriented then thats a possible answer as to why it doesn't show up as much.

every species gets its own specific type of mite- even humans, except grey fox, they don`t get a mange mite. in bobcats it manifests itself totally different than in canines.

I have neither the desire or time to go through a post and leave one or two sentences in a post. I had Gappa post the rules once again. Read them.

Back to the topic. I once lived in southwestern Arizona and called and killed many coyotes. Once in a while one would show up with mange, but not all. The population was very large, and during my years there, I really never saw a fluctuation in the number of animals with mange. Mortality due to freezing was virtually nonexistent, so even the ones with light hair probably made it pretty well. I do not recall every finding a dead coyote other than one that was shot and thus, there was no indication that mange was killing them. If the wolves can get over it, I can see no reason that coyotes in a warm climate may not do the same. I also think that the infestation probably manifests itself in populations that are either too thick or overstressed due to drought or some type of food shortage due to deep snow etc. Just my observations.

Mange can never be 100% cured up, as you have areas that get no control and these coyotes migrate into new areas and pass it on to others. I have areas of Indian Res were I can't go and the "locals" don't control coyotes there is were mange runs very high, these coyotes disperse out and keep the cycle going, the closer to the indian res I trap,call whatever the higher the mange rates I see some up in the 80%+ range.
Areas were you can cover a large area and trap out a decent share and cover alot of ground you can keep that % lower, as you will always get die off in some degree as well as you control efforts, the colder amd harsher the weather the more that will be takin out. The fill in of mange will be slower in these areas and with weather can be kept at a lower% of mangy caught coyotes.
It spreads quickest in areas of denser population and areas along major travel routes, the more contactual areas will find mange to be more prevalent and slower to see a falling rate in those coyotes. We have cold weather here "normally", but coyotes can and do find cover and will become very dependant on road kill and other carcasses when the weather gets cold and travel very little to keep themsleves surviving. Look at alot of the real mangy coyotes takin in the fall/winter and those will the long toe nails, they don't travle often or very far to keep those nails worn down, I always see the long nails on the worst of the mangy coyotes, as they lay up and rely on carrion much more than there healthy relatives.
