background and aims: scabies is a common worldwide parasitic contagious disease caused by sarcoptes scabiei of the order of astigmata of the family of sarcoptidae. therefore, this review is to determine the exact status of scabies in iran in order to manage it better. methods: on the whole, out of the 120 articles and books, 56 ones were covered based on items such as study purpose, date of pub...

Quantifying target microbial populations in complex communities remains a barrier to studying species interactions in soil environments. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays were developed for quantifying pathogenic Streptomyces scabiei and antibiotic-producing Streptomyces lavendulae strains in complex soil communities. This assay will be useful for evaluating the competitive dynamics of streptomyce...

Scabies is an infestation of the skin by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. It manifests with pruritic erythematous papules and excoriations, in addition to the pathognomonic burrows. Multiple drugs can be used for treatment, but resistance to conventional therapy is increasing throughout the years. This paper will review the mechanisms of resistance proposed in the literature and some of the potentia...

background: infestation of the skin by the “itch mite” sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis results in a contagious skin infection in humans called “sca-bies”. by resolving morphology issues, the present study was designed to be acquainted with itch mite by molecular markers. methods: the mite samples were collected from scabies patients by visiting government hospitals of twin city, pakistan. for su...

The draft genome sequences of the three pathogens of potato common scab, Streptomyces scabiei S58, Streptomyces turgidiscabies T45, and Streptomyces acidiscabies a10, isolated in Japan, are presented here. The genome size of each strain is >10 Mb, and the three pathogenic strains share genes located in a pathogenicity island previously described in other pathogenic Streptomyces species.

BACKGROUND Scabies is a contagious skin disease rarely described in miniature pigs. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a zoonotic transfer from infected pet pigs to humans has not been reported previously. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes the infestation with Sarcoptes scabiei mites in two miniature pigs presenting with unusual clinical signs, and disease transmission to a chi...

The beta-glucosidase BglC fulfills multiple functions in both primary metabolism and induction of pathogenicity Streptomyces scabiei, the causative agent common scab root tuber crops. Indeed, this enzyme hydrolyzes cellobiose cellotriose to feed glycolysis with glucose directly modifies intracellular concentration these cello-oligosaccharides, which are virulence elicitors. inactivation bglC le...

Tinea pseudoimbricata is related to T. tonsurans and T. rubrum and crusted scabies is a highly contagious dermatosis caused by excessive proliferation of S. scabiei var. hominis. We described a case of a 21-year-old patient, seronegative for HIV, with both skin diseases. The occurrence of these dermatosis simultaneously in immunocompetent patients is very rare.
