Abstract:

The hosts of Sarcoptes scabiei (S. scabiei) are extensive and distributed globally. Scabies infections can threaten the health of the host and result in significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Currently, the pathogenic mechanism of the S.scabiei remains unclear, and there are no ideal diagnostic or treatment strategies for S.scabiei infections. Investigating the gene function of the S.scabiei is crucial for addressing this issue. Advances in molecular biology over recent years have facilitated an in-depth exploration of the gene function and pathogenic mechanism of S.scabiei, providing a robust data foundation for further study. This review encapsulates the latest research on the applications of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, as well as significant functional genes in S.scabiei, with the aim of offering novel insights into understanding the pathogenesis of S.scabiei and identifying effective molecular-level treatment approaches.

Key words: Sarcoptes scabiei, functional gene, prevention and control, advancement
