Sarcoptes scabiei (Linnaeus, 1758)

Synonyms

edit
  • Acarus siro var. scabiei, original combination used by Linnaeus (1758)
  • Sarcoptes scabiei, subsequent combination used by Latreille (1802)

Note:

edit
  • Sarcoptes scabiei infests many different mammalian hosts. "therefore, based on morphology alone, it is unclear if Sarcoptes mites associated with different hosts represent different species or simply different varieties of one species" (Arlian, 1989: 142).
  • It corresponds to Pascal's mite (André, 2019)
