Sustaining Transmission in Different Host Species: The Emblematic Case ofSarcoptes scabiei

2021-09-14

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Some pathogens sustain transmission in multiple different host species, but how this epidemiologically important feat is achieved remains enigmatic. Sarcoptes scabiei is among the most host generalist and successful of mammalian parasites. We synthesize pathogen and host traits that mediate sustained transmission and present cases illustrating three transmission mechanisms (direct, indirect, and combined)...
