In vitro bioassays of S. scabiei var. hominis permethrin sensitivity. a) Differences in in-vitro permethrin susceptibility in S. scabiei with different acaricide exposure histories: Permethrin naïve S. scabiei var. suis (n = 100), exposed S. scabiei var. hominis (n = 40) and permethrin resistant S. scabiei var. canis (n = 100). Survival curves are significantly different (p < 0.0001). b) Synergistic activity of DEM. S. scabiei var. hominis mites exposed to permethrin combined with DEM (n = 40) show increased susceptibility compared to mites exposed to permethrin alone (n = 40) (p < 0.0001). Control mites exposed to mineral oil (n = 20) or DEM alone (n = 20) show little mortality over eight hours.
