Permethrin-associated kdr Mutations through Molecular Analysis of Human Head Lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) Populations in School Children in the South of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Health Sciences and Surveillance System, 2021
Background:Human head lice is one of the most invincible neglected skin diseases. The use of pyrethroid insecticides is a standard method of treating the disease, which leads to lice population resistance in the long run.

Molecular analysis of mitochrondrial cytb of Pediculus humanus capitis in Thailand revealed potential historical connection with South Asia.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundPediculus humanus capitis or head louse is an obligate ectoparasite and its infestation remains a major public health issue worldwide. Molecular analysis divides head lice into six clades and intra-clade genetic differences have been identified.

Altitude-dependent Bartonella quintana Genotype C in Head Lice, Ethiopia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To determine the presence of Bartonella quintana in head and body lice from persons in different locations in Ethiopia, we used molecular methods. B. quintana was found in 19 (7%) genotype C head lice and in 76 (18%) genotype A body lice. B.

Molecular identification of head lice collected in Franceville (Gabon) and their associated bacteria

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Pediculus humanus, which includes two ecotypes (body and head lice), is an obligate bloodsucking parasite that co-evolved with their human hosts over thousands of years, thus providing a valuable source of information to reconstruct the human ...

Head lice surveillance on a deregulated OTC-sales market: a study using web query data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, is an obligate ectoparasite that causes infestations of humans. Studies have demonstrated a correlation between sales figures for over-the-counter (OTC) treatment products and the number of humans with head lice.

Data incongruence and the problem of avian louse phylogeny [PDF]

, 2004
Recent studies based on different types of data (i.e. morphological and molecular) have supported conflicting phylogenies for the genera of avian feather lice (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera).
