Expression profiles of itch markers during scabies infection in a porcine scabies model
Our data suggest that both the histaminergic and non-histaminergic pathways may be involved in scabies itch. Further research is needed to better understand the complex interplay between these pathways and to identify therapeutic targets for scabies-related itch.
