Sarcoptes is a genus of mites.
In some contexts, the types are all considered subordinate to Sarcoptes scabiei.
- Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis
- S. s. var. canis
- S. s. var. caprae
- S. s. var. equi
- S. s. var. hominis
- S. s. var. ovis
- S. s. var. suis
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] or Sarcoptes scabiei canis.
