“…Using dermoscopy at 40x magnification, the 'jet with contrail' sign appears in the form of a small brown triangular structure (anterior part of mite) trailed by a linear segment (a burrow with or without eggs, and fecal pellets). Similar signs with different terminologies for the anterior part of the mite were identified [69] such as: 1) the "delta glider" sign [70] ; 2) the "hang-glider" sign [71] ; 3) the "circumflex accent like sign" [72] ; 4) the "delta-wing" sign [73] . Dermoscopic diagnosis can be enhanced by applying ink to the lesion, revealing a live mite [74] .…”

Zoonotic arthropods Myiasis (myia, Greek word for "fly)The chief zoonotic potential occurs in humans through skin invasion by the developing larvae (maggots) of Diptera. Infested larvae feed on dead or living tissues of the skin [9] . The recorded prevalence of the disease relies only on published case reports. Myiasis is considered a differential diagnosis of skin diseases in tropical poor communities due to bad hygiene and poor housing conditions [10,11] . However, human myiasis may also occur in countries with enhanced hygiene, as reported from New York [12] , and in France [13] . Notably, in temperate countries, myiasis occurs in summer when fly breeding is at its maximum [14] . Predisposing factors involve skin cancers, diabetes, and vascular diseases [10,15] . Nosocomial infection with Sarcophaga larvae was recorded revealing the ability of maggots to reach to

“…Upon microscopic correlation, triangular structure corresponded to the pigmented anterior section of mite, while the 'contrail-shaped' structure represented the burrow with/without eggs and faecal pellets. Subsequent studies detected similar clues, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] though different terminology has been used to refer to the anterior part of the mite, including 'delta glider' sign, 15,16,26 'hang-glider' sign, 17,20,21,22,25 'circumflex accent-like' sign 16 and 'delta-wing' sign. 19,28 Application of ink can enhance the appearance of dermoscopic findings, 29 and movement of mite inside the burrow may also be highlighted on high-magnification dermoscopy.…”

Besides classic applications, dermoscopy has gained significant appreciation also for non‐tumoral dermatoses (general dermatology). In this field, skin parasitoses (infestations), bites and stings have been reported among the conditions that may benefit most from dermoscopic examination. However, published data on this topic are sparse and often lack a standardized analytical approach. In this systematic review of the literature, we sought to summarize available data on dermoscopy of cutaneous parasitoses, bites and stings, analysing dermoscopic features and used setting (polarization or not/magnification), pathological correlation and level of evidence of published studies as well as trying to align dermoscopic terminology of reported findings following a standardized methodology. A total of 150 publications addressing 29 different dermatoses and reporting 96 different dermoscopic findings were included in the analysis. Most of them displayed a level of evidence of V (113 single case reports and 36 case series), with only one study featuring a level of evidence of IV (case–control study). Additionally, our analysis also displayed poor uniformity in the terminology used in published articles (even for the same dermatosis). Therefore, albeit promising, dermoscopy of cutaneous parasitoses, bites and stings needs future systematized studies for a better characterization.

Keterlambatan dalam diagnosis dapat menyebabkan penyebaran kudis scabies (Aukerman, Curfman, Urias, & Shayesteh, 2019) (Melo, Ribas, & Encarnação, 2020).

Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease in humans and other mammals caused by the parasitic mite sarcoptes scabiei. The main transmission of scabies is from direct physical contact, so scabies is susceptible to spread in a closed environment that is densely populated, such as houses, dormitories, and boarding schools. The location of the training is at Sulaimania Boarding School in Kuta Baro District, Aceh Besar Regency. The objective to be achieved from the training activities is to increase the knowledge of students at Sulaimania Islamic Boarding School, through the dissemination of knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors to prevent scabies. The method used in the form of lectures, practice and frequently asked questions. Evaluation of training activities is carried out by distributing questionnaires before and after the activity. The evaluation showed that overall there was an increase approximately 60.34% in students' understanding of the prevention of scabies and healthy and clean living behaviors and the participants benefited from this training.
