Abstract

This case report describes the rapid transmission of sarcoptic mange, a highly contagious skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, from one dromedary camel to a group of other dromedary camels and a group of human beings despite wearing personal protective equipment. This is the first report on an outbreak of human pseudoscabies in the United Arab Emirates, and it highlights the importance of a One Health approach managing zoonotic diseases. Early detection, treatment of infected animals, as well as adherence to hygiene and quarantine protocols are crucial to prevent zoonotic spillovers.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy. Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field. Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
