Genetic characterization of Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis from scabies patients in Pakistan.

Scabies occurs in human due to the burrowing ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis resulting in intense itching and inflammation, and manifesting as a skin allergy. Limited information is available about the genetic diversity of S.

Characterization of Tropomyosin and Paramyosin: Immunoreactive Allergens in Scabies.

Scabies is a human skin disease due to the burrowing ectoparasite var. resulting in intense itching and inflammation and manifesting as a skin allergy. Because of insufficient mite material and lack of in vitro propagation system for antigen preparation, scabies is a challenging disease to develop serological diagnostics.

Validation of PCR Assay for Identification of Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis.

Background: Infestation of the skin by the "itch mite" Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis results in a contagious skin infection in humans called "scabies". By resolving morphology issues, the present study was designed to be acquainted with itch mite by molecular markers.
