Disease relevance of Sarcoptes scabiei

• Mechanisms for a novel immune evasion strategy in the scabies mite sarcoptes scabiei: a multigene family of inactivated serine proteases [1].
• PCR of Wolbachia surface protein (wsp), ftsZ and 16SrRNA genes from individual Sarcoptes scabiei mites obtained from a series of individual hosts, and database searches of an S. scabiei var. hominis EST library failed to detect Wolbachia genes [2].
• The effects of a single artificial infestation with sarcoptic mite (Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis DeGeer) on weight gain and lymphocyte blastogenic responses were studied in untreated and fenvalerate-treated pigs [3].
• Pigs in a herd infected with Sarcoptes scabiei var suis were treated with 20% phosmet at a dose rate of 20 mg/kg body weight [4].
• Cells were cultured in medium alone or medium containing 50 microg/ml of Sarcoptes scabiei (SS) extract, 50 ng/ml E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or SS + LPS together [5].

High impact information on Sarcoptes scabiei

• Functional analysis and localisation of a delta-class glutathione S-transferase from Sarcoptes scabiei [6].
• Identification of a homologue of a house dust mite allergen in a cDNA library from Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis and evaluation of its vaccine potential in a rabbit/S. scabiei var. canis model [7].
• Staff members infested with Sarcoptes scabiei were released from work until they had been treated with lindane [8].
• Efficacy and safety of treatment with imidacloprid 10%+moiddectin 2.5% spot-on (Advocate((R)), Advantage multi((R)); Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany) were tested in dogs naturally infested with Sarcoptes scabiei or Otodectes cynotis in a multi-centre, controlled, randomized, blinded field study conducted in France, Germany, Albania and the UK [9].
• Skewed Th1/Th2 immune response to Sarcoptes scabiei [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Sarcoptes scabiei

• Eucalyptus globulus (camphor oil) against the zoonotic scabies, Sarcoptes scabiei [11].

Associations of Sarcoptes scabiei with chemical compounds

• The diagnosis was further confirmed by identification of Sarcoptes scabiei in scraping and potassium hydroxide preparations made from the cutaneous lesions [12].
• Sarcoptes scabiei infestation treated with malathion liquid [13].
• This study found that > or = 1 life stage(s) of Sarcoptes scabiei (L.) was significantly attracted to the nitrogenous compounds, guanine, purine, adenine, allantoin, hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid, ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium sulfate [14].

Gene context of Sarcoptes scabiei

• Production of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta by human skin equivalents parasitized by Sarcoptes scabiei [15].
• The stored sera had originally been submitted in order to verify or rule out infection with Sarcoptes scabiei [16].
• (Vet. Parasitol. 51: 123-135, 1993 and 59: 249-255, 1995) developed a migration assay for acaricidal effect of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and macrocyclic lactones utilising Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis mites [17].
