Brief description Scabies is a significant problem in disadvantaged populations worldwide, particularly Australian Aboriginal communities where up to 65% of people can be affected. Our research will investigate the role that aspartic proteases play in the interaction of the mite with its host. We will examine methods of interfering with the function of these proteins with the aim of designing new, effective treatments for scabies.
