Sarcoptes
Sarcoptes scabei
Scientific classification Edit this classification

Class: Arachnida
Order: Sarcoptiformes
Family: Sarcoptidae
Genus: Sarcoptes

Sarcoptes is a genus of mites.

In some contexts, the types are all considered subordinate to Sarcoptes scabiei.

In other cases, as with S. equi and S. anthracis, these are sometimes considered distinct species.

The term Sarcoptes canis appears in older references,[1] but is now usually described as Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis[2]orSarcoptes scabiei canis.
