Abstract
Sarcoptes scabiei is an infectious parasite that causes scabies in more than 100 mammalian species. The host immune response to scabies infestation involves both the innate and adaptive immune responses, making it a potential candidate for a preventive vaccine. In this article, we provide an overview of S scabiei as well as the host immune response to scabies infestations and the potential of new scabies vaccines.
