Gene silencing by RNA interference in Sarcoptes scabiei: a molecular tool to identify novel therapeutic targets

Abstract Background Scabies is one of the most common and widespread parasitic skin infections globally, affecting a large range of mammals including humans, yet the molecular biology of Sarcoptes scabiei is astonishingly understudied. Research has been hampered primarily due to the difficulty of sa...
