What type of pathogen causes scabies?

Scabies is not caused by a pathogen. Scabies is an infestation
of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei.
Infestation is common, found worldwide, and affects people of all
races and social classes. Scabies spreads rapidly under crowded
conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between
people, such as in hospitals, institutions, child-care facilities,
and nursing homes. Prolonged skin-to-skin contact is required to
spread scabies (handshakes will not spread it). Sharing clothes
with someone who has scabies can spread it, and it can also very
easily be spread to sexual partners.

Can Scabies Mites jump distances?

The Scabies Mites burrow into the skin often leaving an 'S'
shape and other people can be infected only by skin-to-skin
contact. Itching will occur and is worse at night. The mites are in
the areas of webs of the fingers; toes; around the genital area and
under the beasts in women. Your family doctor should have a look to
decide what type of rash you have and then treat it. Scabies can be
treated very well with sulfur ointments and since the bite from
Scabies Mites is an alergic reaction in some people then
antihistamines. If it is Crusted Scabies it is important to wash or
dry clean all bedding; vacuum sofas, etc.
