Unravelling the evolution of the head lice and body lice of humans
Parasitology Research, 2005Recent studies of mitochondrial genes of the head and body lice of humans indicate that present-day lice comprise two lineages that diverged before the evolution of modern humans. To test if this was a locus-specific phenomenon, we studied two nuclear genes, elongation factor-1alpha (EF-1alpha) and small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssu rRNA).

[Lice and lice-borne diseases in humans].
Medecine tropicale : revue du Corps de sante colonial, 2005Among the three lice which parasite the human being, the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus, is a vector of infectious diseases. It lives and multiplies in clothes and human infestation is associated with cold weather and a lack of hygiene.

Human lice: Past, present and future control
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2013Human lice represent one of the longest ectoparasitic relationships associated with mankind. Whereas the body louse vectors bacterial diseases that have killed millions, the head louse does not but represents an economic and social concern worldwide. A crisis exists in the control of lice due to the availability of only a few new pediculicides and the ...

Lice are parasitic insects with an egg stage, from which the six-legged louse hatches, passing through three nymphal stages before becoming adult. The legs end in claws used to climb through the hair or clothing of the host. There are three human lice: the head louse, Pediculus capitis, which infests head hair; the body or clothing louse, Pediculus ...

EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION OF HUMAN BODY LICE WITH ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006The human body louse is currently recognized as a vector of Rickettsia prowazekii, Borrelia recurrentis, and Bartonella quintana. Previous studies have reported the isolation of Acinetobacter baumannii from the body lice of homeless patients. To study how the body louse acquires A.

Human identification by lice: A Next Generation Sequencing challenge
Forensic Science International, 2016Rapid and progressive advances in molecular biology techniques and the advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) have opened new possibilities for analyses also in the identification of entomological matrixes. Insects and other arthropods are widespread in nature and those found at a crime scene can provide a useful contribution to forensic ...
