| genetic epidemiology of sarcoptes scabiei (acari: sarcoptidae) in northern australia. | utilising three hypervariable microsatellite markers we have previously shown that scabies mites on people are genetically distinct from those on dogs in sympatric populations in northern australia. this had important ramifications on the formulation of public health control policies. in contrast phylogenetic analyses using mitochondrial markers on scabies mites infecting multiple animal hosts elsewhere in the world could not differentiate any genetic variation between mite haplotype and host sp ... | 2004 | 15157767 |
