Abstract: | Scabies ('Itch Mite') is truly a Great Neglected Disease that inflicts misery on millions. Molecular approaches, while still in their infancy, are providing a better understanding of the parasite and will have important implications for control and prevention. It has long been thought that dogs may act as a reservoir for human infections. However, genetic studies cast doubt over this supposition. |
