The life cycle of canine scabies has been studied extensively. Currently studies are focusing on mite behavior, physiological requirements, host specificity, mite survival, and clinical complications of scabies. Investigations are giving insight into immunologic responses to infestation and cross-reactivity with house dust mites. A diagnostic blood test or vaccine may become a future reality, if a unique antibody response can be isolated. Can scabies transmit the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)? This controversial area needs prompt definitive exploration.
犬疥螨的生命周期已得到广泛研究。目前的研究集中在螨虫行为、生理需求、宿主特异性、螨虫存活情况以及疥疮的临床并发症。调查正在深入了解对感染的免疫反应以及与屋尘螨的交叉反应性。如果能够分离出独特的抗体反应，诊断性血液检测或疫苗可能会成为未来的现实。疥疮能传播人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）吗？这个有争议的领域需要迅速进行明确的探索。
