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

Accurate Wound and Lice Detection in Atlantic Salmon Fish Using a Convolutional Neural Network
Fishes, 2022 The population living in the coastal region relies heavily on fish as a food source due to their vast availability and low cost. This need has given rise to fish farming.

Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S-rRNA Gene. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepCandidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Farmed salmonids drive the abundance, ecology and evolution of parasitic salmon lice in Norway
, 2021 Sea cage fish farming is typically open to the environment, with disease transmission possible between farmed and wild hosts. In salmonid aquaculture, salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestations cause production losses, reduce welfare for farmed ...
