The behaviour of Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis has been studied in hyperkeratotic scabies of pigs (fig. 1). The scanning electron microscope enabled us to observe the outer surface of the eggs in the burrow and even within the cut body of the fertilized female mite (fig. 2). Early events during hatching of the eggs and the first steps of the newborn larva (fig. 3) are shown. The presence of crystals containing calcium and phosphate is shown to occur in places where huge amounts of faecal material are collected (fig. 4). Although some of these aspects have not been published previously we observed many similarities in behavior between Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis and suis in their respective hosts affected with hyperkeratotic scabies. As to the therapeutic aspect of scabies in humans, carefully selected drugs currently used in the systemic treatment of scabies in pigs would be worth a trial in patients difficult to treat.
对猪疥螨变种在猪的角化过度型疥疮中的行为进行了研究（图1）。扫描电子显微镜使我们能够观察洞穴中卵的外表面，甚至是受精雌螨被切断身体内的卵的外表面（图2）。展示了卵孵化过程中的早期事件以及新生幼虫的最初阶段（图3）。结果表明，在收集大量粪便物质的地方会出现含有钙和磷酸盐的晶体（图4）。尽管其中一些方面此前尚未发表，但我们观察到，人疥螨变种和猪疥螨变种在各自患有角化过度型疥疮的宿主中的行为有许多相似之处。至于人类疥疮的治疗方面，目前在猪疥疮全身治疗中精心挑选的药物值得在难治性患者中进行试验。
