“…This exceptional visual acuity has also been reported in the Colombian Amazon 11 . Despite the notion of an infectious mechanism, knowledge of the transmission modes appeared to be very poor; comparable to the figures found in Pakistan 32 and lower than those reported in Guinea‐Bissau 5 and Indonesia 33 . In this study, knowledge was found to be particularly poor among Maroons (90% could not name any mode of transmission) compared to Amerindians (36%).…”

Transmission via hammocks or clothing was the most widely known way of contracting scabies, in line with the results observed in the qualitative study.…”

“…Similarly, scabies has been described as a rite of passage to adulthood among the Santri community in Indonesia, with prevalence approaching 100%. 33 A similar phenomenon of acceptance of the disease is found among Australian Aborigines. 7 The need for environmental disinfection was described as a real barrier to treatment adherence in all the communities in the study.…”

BackgroundStrategies for the control of scabies should be adapted to local settings. Traditional communities in French Guiana have non‐Western conceptions of disease and health.ObjectivesThe objectives for this study were to explore knowledge, attitudes and practices to identify potential factors associated with the failure of scabies treatment in these communities.MethodsPatients with a clinical diagnosis of scabies, seen at either the Cayenne Hospital or one of 13 health centres between 01 April 2021 and 31 August 2021, were included as participants, and were seen again after 6 weeks to check for persistence of lesions. Factors associated with treatment failure were looked for both at inclusion and at 6 weeks. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with a diversified subsample of participants.ResultsIn total, 164 participants were included in the quantitative component, and 21 were interviewed for the qualitative component. Declaring that the second treatment dose had been taken was associated with therapeutic success. Western treatments were not always affordable. Better adherence was observed with topical treatments than with oral ivermectin, whereas permethrin monotherapy was associated with failure. Scabies‐associated stigma was high among Amerindians and Haitians but absent in Ndjuka Maroons. Participants reported environmental disinfection as being very complex.ConclusionsThe treatment of scabies in traditional Guianan communities may vary depending on local perceptions of galenic formulations, disease‐associated stigma and differences in access to health care. These factors should be taken into account when devising strategies for the control of scabies aimed at traditional communities living in remote areas, and migrant populations.
