A mathematical view on head lice infestations

, 2019
Commonly known as head lice, Pediculus humanus capitis are human ectoparasites which cause infestations in children worldwide. Understanding the life cycle of head lice is an important step in knowing how to treat lice infestations, as the parasite behavior depends considerably on its age and gender.

Body lice and bed bug co-infestation in an emergency department patient, Ohio, USA

IDCases, 2020
Body lice and bed bugs are hematophagous insects that parasitize humans. Body lice are established vectors of several bacterial pathogens (e.g. Bartonella quintana, Borrelia recurrentis).

Factors associated with diversity, quantity and zoonotic potential of ectoparasites on urban mice and voles [PDF]

, 2018
Wild rodents are important hosts for tick larvae but co-infestations with other mites and insects are largely neglected. Small rodents were trapped at four study sites in Berlin, Germany, to quantify their ectoparasite diversity.

Granulomatous mural folliculitis and cytotoxic interface dermatitis in a pygmy goat associated with ovine herpesvirus‐2 and systemic lesions of malignant catarrhal fever

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old pygmy goat presented with progressive alopecia, skin ulceration and lichenification over the neck, face and body. Empirical treatment for parasitic and fungal causes of skin disease did not produce clinical improvement, prompting a full diagnostic investigation.

Geographic redistribution of farmed salmonids reduces salmon lice infestations and treatment frequency in a simulation study

Aquaculture Environment Interactions
Host density is a key driver in parasite population dynamics, and often the number of parasites increases rapidly with host density. In the context of Norwegian salmonid farming, this mechanism has led to a disparity between the desire to increase ...

Impact of Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestations on migrating Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., smolts at eight locations in Ireland with an analysis of lice-induced marine mortality

Journal of Fish Diseases, 2013
Sea lice infestation as a source of marine mortality of outwardly migrating Atlantic salmon smolts has been investigated by treating groups of ranched salmon, prior to release, with a prophylactic sea lice treatment conferring protection from sea lice ...

Impact of ivermectin administered for scabies treatment on the prevalence of head lice in Atoifi, Solomon Islands. [PDF]

, 2018
Scabies and head lice are ubiquitous ectoparasitic infestations that are common across the Pacific Islands. Ivermectin is an effective treatment for both conditions, although the doses used vary.
