“…Scabies is a global public health burdensome issue with an estimated worldwide point prevalence of up to 200 million people in 2015 according to the Global Burden of Disease Study [1,2]. Pregnant women are at increased risk of certain infectious diseases, such as influenza, malaria, hepatitis E, measles, smallpox, and herpes simplex virus infection, potentially owing to a weakened adaptive immune response [3,4].…”

“…Since the availability of ivermectin formulations for animal use in 1975, this drug became the most effective and safe treatment for a broad range of endo- and ectoparasites including Sarcoptes scabiei [ 2 – 4 ]. In fact, ivermectin is included amongst the election drugs to treat scabies not only in humans [ 5 , 6 ] but also in domestic [ 7 ] and wild mammals [ 8 ]. This macrocyclic lactone is mainly delivered orally (e.g.…”

This letter comments on the article “The treatment of sarcoptic mange in wildlife: a systematic review” published in Parasites & Vectors 2019, 12:99, and discusses the limitations in the use of endectocides for scabies control in free-ranging wildlife. The ecological impact and drug resistance to ivermectin are also discussed. In our view, scabies control in free-ranging wildlife should be based preferably on population management measures, and whether to apply individual treatments to free-ranging populations should be considered very carefully and avoided where not absolutely warranted.

“…• Prognosis and treatment: Topical agents such as permethrin, lindane, benzyl benzoate, esdepallethrine (bioallethrin), crotamiton, and precipitated sulfur and oral ivermectin are used for the treatment (Chosidow and Hay 2019). This can be completely cured with correct treatments specifically prescribed for the whole family of the infected patient (Fathy et al 2010).…”
