The analysis using the systems approach, analogue simulation, practical conclusions of the probability theory, mathematical statistical methods, programme-oriented work organization revealed and eliminated a number of neglects that had put bounds to scabies morbidity reduction among Moscovites. In 1998, the number of the foci that dermatovenereological facilities were unaware of substantially showed a 6.9-fold decrease. Therefore, the incidence of scabies reduced by 14.6% in the city in 1998. The paper presents the guidelines developed by the authors, which will ensure that the incidence rates of scabies be 25.07 per 100,000 Moscovites by 2005. It analyzes the scabies epidemiological situation among the homeless and possible measures to promote health in this group of persons.

Background: Scabies is a debilitating and neglected infectious disease with limited effective treatment options and affecting millions of people worldwide, mainly in poor and overcrowded settings. Essential oils from Australasian Myrtaceae are known to have parasiticidal properties, often attributed to the presence of β-triketones, which are known inhibitors of the tyrosine catabolism pathway through inhibition of hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD).
Purpose: In this study, essential oils from mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) were evaluated in vitro for miticidal and ovicidal activities and their active β-triketone constituents (flavesone, leptospermone, and isoleptospermone) were identified.

Aims: Potato common scab (CS), caused by pathogenic Streptomyces, is a devastating disease affecting potato crops worldwide. Antagonistic microorganisms have been used as biological control agents to inhibit Streptomyces scabies and reduce the use of synthetic pesticides. However, identifying beneficial microorganisms for controlling CS remains undetermined.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of sulfur cream, used in combination with a compound ketoconazole ointment, on treating palmoplantar keratotic eczema.
- A total of 116 patients were divided into two groups: one receiving the combined treatment (sulfur cream blowing and ketoconazole) and the other receiving only ketoconazole.
- Results showed that the group using sulfur cream had better patient responses, improved quality of life, and fewer adverse effects compared to the control group after 4 weeks of treatment.

Chronic pruritus accounts for approximately 1 % of all physician visits, and providers are often confronted with how to treat patients with pruritus. Scabies is oftentimes a concern by both patients and providers, and anti-scabietic treatments are generally considered safe and effective. However, the pruritus will continue if there is an alternate etiology.
