Genotyping of human lice suggests multiple emergencies of body lice from local head louse populations. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BACKGROUND: Genetic analyses of human lice have shown that the current taxonomic classification of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) and body lice (Pediculus humanus humanus) does not reflect their phylogenetic organization.

Evidence that head and body lice on homeless persons have the same genotype. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Human head lice and body lice are morphologically and biologically similar but have distinct ecologies. They were shown to have almost the same basic genetic content (one gene is absent in head lice), but differentially express certain genes, presumably ...

Molecular investigation and genetic diversity of Pediculus and Pthirus lice in France

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Humans are parasitized by three types of lice: body, head and pubic lice. As their common names imply, each type colonizes a specific region of the body. The body louse is the only recognized disease vector. However, an increasing awareness of
