In this paper, we provide a generic mathematical framework for scabies transmission mechanisms. The infections involving susceptible, highly contagious people and juvenile scabiei mites are characterized by a framework of ordinary differential equations (DEs). The objective of this study is to examine the evolution of scabies disease employing a revolutionary configuration termed a fractal–fractional (FF) Atangana–Baleanu (AB) operator. Generic dynamical estimates are used to simulate the underlying pace of growth of vulnerable people, clinical outcomes, and also the eradication and propagation rates of contaminated people and immature mites. We study and comprehend our system, focusing on a variety of restrictions on its basic functionalities. The model’s outcomes are assessed for positivity and boundedness. The formula includes a fundamental reproducing factor, R0, that ensures the presence and stability of all relevant states. Furthermore, the FF-AB operator is employed in the scabies model, and its mathematical formulation is presented using a novel process. We analyze the FF framework to construct various fractal and fractional levels and conclude that the FF theory predicts the affected occurrences of scabies illness adequately. The relevance and usefulness of the recently described operator has been demonstrated through simulations of various patterns of fractal and fractional data.
