Sarcoptes scabiei
Sarcoptes scabiei, otherwise known as scabies, is a highly
contagious infestation of microscopic mites that affect
humans and animals alike. Contracting scabies is more
common then one may think, and occurs worldwide. No
one is safe from an infestation of scabies because it can
affect any race or social class. Scabies can also spread at
a rapid pace, and this usually occurs in crowded areas
where there is a chance of prolonged contact.
(Bandyopadhyay).

Reproduction
o The female mite finds a host
and burrows down into his or her
skin.
o As the female is burrowing
through the hosts skin she
leaves a trail of eggs. She can
leave two to three eggs a day for
up to two months. (Gould, 2009).
o The eggs will then hatch about
four days after they are laid. The
new larvae grow and shed their
outer coat about two times and
then become adults. (Gould,
2009).
