<p>Scabies is a public health risk for students in primary schools. Family size of five and greater, lack of awareness about scabies prevention and transmission, infrequent body bathing, a history of scabies in the family, and daily water consumption of less than 40 litres per day were factors that were associated with scabies infestation. Therefore, the district health and education office should implement public health measures, including raising student awareness of scabies transmission, prevention, and control strategies against scabies infestation.</p><p><br></p>
