| genetically distinct dog-derived and human-derived sarcoptes scabiei in scabies-endemic communities in northern australia. | overcrowding is a significant factor contributing to endemic infection with sarcoptes scabiei in human and animal populations. however, since scabies mites from different host species are indistinguishable morphologically, it is unclear whether people can be infected from scabies-infested animals. molecular fingerprinting was done using three s. scabiei-specific single locus hypervariable microsatellite markers, with a combined total of 70 known alleles. multilocus analysis of 712 scabies mites ... | 1999 | 10548286 |
| distribution of life cycle stages of sarcoptes scabiei var wombati and effects of severe mange on common wombats in victoria. | seven female and three male common wombats (vombatus ursinus) collected from forested areas of victoria (australia) over a 10 mo period, 10 april 1997 to 22 february 1998 had at least 30% of their skin affected by severe hyperkeratotic sarcoptic mange. mangy wombats were grazing during the day, could be readily approached, were in poor body condition, and lacked subcutaneous fat. the anterolateral surface of the body was most heavily parasitised with sarcoptes scabiei var wombati followed by the ... | 1999 | 10574522 |
| the mitochondrial 12s gene is a suitable marker of populations of sarcoptes scabiei from wombats, dogs and humans in australia. | we sequenced part of the mitochondrial 12s ribosomal rna gene of 23 specimens of sarcoptes scabiei from eight wombats, one dog and three humans. twelve of the 326 nucleotide positions varied among these mites and there were nine haplotypes (sequences) that differed by 1-8 nucleotides. phylogenetic analyses indicated that these mites were from two lineages: (1) mites from wombats from victoria, australia, and mites from the humans and dog from the northern territory, australia (haplotypes 1-4, 9) ... | 2002 | 11999028 |
