Antibody responses to Sarcoptes scabiei apolipoprotein in a porcine model: relevance to immunodiagnosis of recent infection.

ABSTRACT: No commercial immunodiagnostic tests for human scabies are currently available, and existing animal tests are not sufficiently sensitive. The recombinant Sarcoptes scabiei apolipoprotein antigen Sar s 14.3 is a promising immunodiagnostic, eliciting high levels of IgE and IgG in infected people. Limited data are available regarding the temporal development of antibodies to Sar s 14.3, an issue of relevance in terms of immunodiagnosis. We utilised a porcine model to prospectively compare specific antibody responses to a primary infestation by ELISA, to Sar s 14.3 and to S. scabiei whole mite antigen extract (WMA). Differences in the antibody profile between antigens were apparent, with Sar s 14.3 responses detected earlier, and declining significantly after peak infestation compared to WMA. Both antigens resulted in >90% diagnostic sensitivity from weeks 8-16 post infestation. These data provide important information on the temporal development of humoral immune responses in scabies and further supports the development of recombinant antigen based immunodiagnostic tests for recent scabies infestations.

Transcriptome analysis of the host immune responses to Sarcoptes scabiei

Project description:Scabies is a human skin disease due to the burrowing ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei resulting in intense itching and inflammation and manifesting as skin allergy. Little is known about the specific scabies molecules and genes involved in the host inflammatory and immunologic responses. We interrogated the transcriptome profiles of skin biopsies using next generation sequencing and a combined clustering and pathway mapping approach which will enable us in the identification of key signaling events in the host immune and inflammatory responses to S. scabiei infestation. With the comprehensive analysis of RNA-seq results, it has been found that the immune response of host inhibits S. scabiei immune pathway, proliferation and metabolism signaling pathways, out of which the signaling pathway seems to be the main pathway in innate immune response of S. scabiei. The analysis of immune pathway, hydrolase and allergen will contribute to the research of S. scabiei pathogenesis, diagnosis and development of vaccines.

Host immune responses to the itch mite, Sarcoptes scabiei, in humans.

Project description:Scabies is a parasitic disease due to infestation of skin by the burrowing mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies is a major public health problem and endemic in resource poor communities worldwide affecting over 100 million people. Associated bacterial infections cause substantial morbidity, and in severe cases can lead to renal and cardiac diseases. Mite infestation of the skin causes localised cutaneous inflammation, pruritus, skin lesions, and allergic and inflammatory responses are mounted by the host against the mite and its products. Our current understanding of the immune and inflammatory responses associated with the clinical manifestations in scabies is far outweighed by the significant global impact of the disease. This review aims to provide a better understanding of human immune responses to S. scabiei in ordinary and crusted scabies phenotypes.

Prevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei infection in pet dogs in southern China.

Project description:Little is known about the prevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei infection in pet dogs in China. In the present study, the prevalence of S. scabiei infection in pet dogs in Guangzhou, southern China, was investigated between January and December, 2009. A total of 3,977 pet dogs admitted to animal hospitals were examined for the presence of S. scabiei using a parasitological approach. The average prevalence of S. scabiei infection in pet dogs is 1.18% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.85-1.52%). The prevalence of S. scabiei was higher in winter (1.42%; 95% CI: 0.29-2.55%), summer (1.39%; 95% CI: 0.83-1.96%), and autumn (1.1%; 95% CI: 0.53-1.68%) than in spring (0.63%; 95% CI: 0.02-1.25%). Furthermore, the prevalence of S. scabiei was the highest in Pekingese (21.88%; 95% CI: 7.55-36.2%), followed by Papillon (5.26%; 95% CI: 0-11.06%) and Bichon Frise (3.19%; 95% CI: 0-6.75%). The results of the present investigation indicate that S. scabiei infection is prevalent in pet dogs in Guangzhou, China, which provides relevant "baseline" data for conducting control strategies and measures against scabies in this region and elsewhere in China. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive report of S. scabiei prevalence in pet dogs in China.

Transcriptional analysis of differential immune and inflammatory responses to Sarcoptes scabiei infestation in a porcine model

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify genes involved in the skin immune response that changed expression in response to scabies mite infestation. Transcriptomic analysis was undertaken using total RNA extracted from skin biopsies. Four biological replicates for non-infested control group and eight (four for crusted scabies disease phenotype and four for ordinary scabies diseases phenotype) biological replicates for the mite-infested group were used for gene expression analysis at baseline week 0, and at weeks 1, 2, 4 and 8 post-infestation using A-GEOD-16571 Agilent Porcine Gene Expression Microarray 4 x 44K.

Sarcoptes scabiei: genomics to proteomics to biology.

Project description:BackgroundThe common scabies mite, Sarcoptes scabiei is a cosmopolitan parasite of humans and other mammals. An annotated genome of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis has been deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and VectorBase and a proteomic analysis of proteins in extracts of mite bodies and eggs from this strain has been reported. Here we mined the data to identify predicted proteins that are known to be involved in specific biological processes in other animals.ResultsWe identified predicted proteins that are associated with immunomodulation of the host defense system, and biological processes of the mite including oxygen procurement and aerobic respiration, oxidative metabolism, sensory reception and locating a host, neuronal transmission, stressors (heat shock proteins), molting, movement, nutrient procurement and digestion, and excretion and water balance. We used these data to speculate that certain biological processes may occur in scabies mites.ConclusionThis analysis helps understand the biology of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis and adds to the data already available in NCBI and VectorBase.
