Updated project metadata. Background: The parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei is an economically highly significant parasite of the skin of humans and animals worldwide. This mite causes a neglected tropical disease (NTD), called scabies - one of the commonest dermatological problems globally, resulting in major morbidity, disability, stigma and poverty. In hyperendemic situations, scabies is often associated with secondary opportunistic bacterial infections/diseases - a major concern in children. Although some stages of this mite can be treated with drugs, resistance against some drugs is emerging, and there is no vaccine available against scabies. Here, we report molecular resources (including a high-quality genome as well as transcriptomic and proteomic data sets) for S. scabiei to aid basic and applied research of this and related mites.
