Case report: a new method for treatment of permethrin – resistant head lice

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 601-604, May 2017., 2017
Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) infestation is an important disease worldwide, especially in children under 11 years old. Permethrin is the most common insecticide for treatment of human pediculosis, but nowadays resistance to permethrin and other pyrethroids has caused many treatment failures. The second treatment of choice is malathion.

In Vitro Evaluation of Essential Oils Derived from Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) and Citrus limonum (Rutaceae) against the Tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The present research aimed to study the chemical composition and acaricidal activity of Citrus limonum and Piper nigrum essential oils against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus. GC‐MS analysis of C. limonum essential oil showed limonene (50.3%), β‐pinene (14.4%), and γ‐terpinene (11.7%) as the major components; P.

Abrocomaphthirus chilensis (Gomez), new combination (Phthiraptera-Anoplura), an ectoparasite of the Chilean rodent Abrocoma bennetti (Abrocomidae)

Parasite, 2000
The same species of sucking louse (Phthiraptera-Anoplura) from the Chilean abrocomid rodent Abrocoma bennetti Waterhouse, 1837 was recently described as Eulinognathus chilensis Gomez, 1998 and as Abrocomaphthirus hoplai Durden & Webb, 1999.

Molecular phylogenetics of the sucking louse genus Lemurpediculus (Insecta: Phthiraptera), ectoparasites of lemurs, with descriptions of three new species

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
Sucking lice live in intimate association with their hosts and often display a high degree of host specificity. The present study investigated sucking lice of the genus Lemurpediculus from six mouse lemur (Microcebus) and two dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus ...

Purification and characterization of a novel defensin from the salivary glands of the black fly, Simulium bannaense [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) are haematophagous insects that can cause allergic reactions and act as vectors of pathogens. Although their saliva has been thought to contain a diverse array of physiologically active molecules, little ...

Recent Advances in Developing Insect Natural Products as Potential Modern Day Medicines

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Except for honey as food, and silk for clothing and pollination of plants, people give little thought to the benefits of insects in their lives. This overview briefly describes significant recent advances in developing insect natural products as potential new medicinal drugs.

Ophthalmic Parasitosis: A Review Article

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Ocular parasitosis in human is more prevalent in geographical areas where environmental factors and poor sanitary conditions favor the parasitism between man and animals. Lesions in the eye can be due to damage directly caused by the infectious pathogen, indirect pathology caused by toxic products, or the immune response incited by infections or ...

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design
