Three types, hitherto commonly known as varieties of Sarcoptes scabiei (Linnaeus, 1758) were collected from scabietic patients, pigs and dogs to confirm their taxonomic status. As a result, we consider that the mites of human and pig scabies are different subspecies [S. scabiei scabiei (Linnaeus, 1758) and S. scabiei suis Megnin, 1880, respectively], and that of dog scabies is a different species, S. canis Gerlach, 1857. Infestation rate of human scabies in Korea peaked in 1981-1982 and showed nearly 10% of prevalence rate among outpatients of the dermatology clinic, but decreased dramatically during the past ten years and now lowered below 1% since 1990. On the other hand, dog scabies seems to be increasing recently.
从疥疮患者、猪和狗身上采集了迄今通常被认为是疥螨（林奈，1758年）变种的三种类型，以确认它们的分类地位。结果，我们认为人类和猪疥疮的螨虫是不同的亚种[分别为疥螨疥螨亚种（林奈，1758年）和疥螨猪亚种，梅尼恩，1880年]，而狗疥疮的螨虫是不同的物种，犬疥螨，格拉赫，1857年。韩国人类疥疮的感染率在1981 - 1982年达到峰值，在皮肤科门诊患者中的患病率接近１０％，但在过去十年中急剧下降，自1990年以来现已降至1％以下。另一方面，狗疥疮最近似乎在增加。
