Scabies, the human skin disease caused by infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis , causes considerable morbidity and mortality through direct effects and as a result of secondary bacterial infection.

We contend that coordinated, global efforts to control this ubiquitous pathogenic mite are both important and achievable.
