Abstract
Sarcoptes scabiei mites perceive specific host stimuli and are attracted to the host. Mites dislodged from the host respond to both host odor and a thermal stimulus and seek its source. The response to thermal and host odor stimuli are independent. Mites in close proximity to the body respond to both stimuli and show no preference for either. At greater distances from the host, odor is the more important stimulus.Entities:
