Scabies disease is a skin disease that is contagious and transmission will be faster in a group of people who live together, such as students in pesantren. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the knowledge and the incidence of scabies in students at the Pesantren Manbaul Ulum, Jamanis, Tasikmalaya Regency. The research method used comparative analytic with cross sectional on 68 samples and simple random sampling. The research instrument uses a questionnaire. The results showed that most of the knowledge was in the poor category (61.8%) and the incidence of scabies was more than half (51.5%). The results of the Chi- square test obtained a value ρ =0,001 (  <0,05), meaning that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and the incidence of scabies. Students' knowledge of prevention, transmission, treatment, and maintaining personal and environmental hygiene is expected to be able to suppress and even eliminate the prevalence of scabies in pesantren. The conclusion is that the knowledge of students about scabies is related to the incidence of scabies.
