Management and Treatment of Human Lice

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Of the three lice (head, body, and pubic louse) that infest humans, the body louse is the species involved in epidemics of louse‐borne typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever, but all the three cause pediculosis. Their infestations occur today in many countries despite great efforts to maintain high standards of public health.

Diversity of Parasitic Fauna in Semi‐Scavenging Indigenous Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
GI helminth and lice are highly prevalent in indigenous semi‐scavenging chickens. Seven species of helminths were detected, and Raillietina was predominant. Three species of lice were identified and Menopon gallinae was most abundant. Co‐infection was observed in helminth infections and lice infestation.

The evolution of hard tick-borne relapsing fever borreliae is correlated with vector species rather than geographical distance

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Relapsing fever (RF) borreliae are arthropod-borne spirochetes and some of them cause human diseases, which are characterized by relapsing or recurring episodes of fever.
