Scabies remains a significant public health problem worldwide. Research into aspects of
Sarcoptes scabiei biology and host–parasite interactions has been impeded by an inability …

Abstract There are an estimated 0.5–1 million mite species on earth. Among the many mites
that are known to affect humans and animals, only a subset are parasitic but these can …

Multi-host parasites pose greater health risks to wildlife, livestock, and humans than single-
host parasites, yet our understanding of how ecological and biological factors influence a …

Background The lack of genomic data available for mites limits our understanding of their
biology. Evolving high-throughput sequencing technologies promise to deliver rapid …

Two ruminant acute phase proteins (APPs), haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA),
were evaluated as serum biomarkers (BMs) for sheep scab–a highly contagious …

Scabies is a neglected tropical disease of global significance. Our understanding of host-
parasite interactions has been limited, particularly in crusted scabies (CS), a severe clinical …

The sheep scab mite, Psoroptes ovis, is a major problem in the beef cattle industry,
especially in Belgian Blue (BB) cattle. This breed is naturally more predisposed to psoroptic …

Sheep scab, caused by infestation with the mite Psoroptes ovis, is highly contagious,
causing intense pruritus and represents a major welfare and economic concern. Disease …

Mammary gland infections constitute a significant challenge in dairy sheep, affecting
productivity and welfare. Temporal RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) provide a valuable …

This review article provides an in-depth examination of sarcoptic mange in domestic rabbits
