Abstract
We read the Article by David Engelman
and colleagues1 with interest. Their
overview of the key operational
research questions to develop a
global control programme for scabies
provides a clear research agenda
for the years to come.1 Mass drug
administration (MDA) using ivermectin
reduced the prevalence of both scabies
and impetigo tremendously in Fiji with a sustained effect even 24 months after
the intervention.2 Future studies should
prioritise the inclusion of non-island
populations.
