The biology and taxonomy of head and body lice--implications for louse-borne disease prevention. [PDF]

, 2013
Sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of placental mammals including humans. Worldwide, more than 550 species have been described and many are specific to a particular host species of mammal [1].

Cardiorespiratory Disturbances Associated with Infective Fever in Man: Studies of Ethiopian Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever

Clinical Science, 1970
1. Nineteen patients with louse-borne relapsing fever were studied in Addis Abeba (altitude 2285 m). 2. Following treatment with tetracycline a febrile Jarisch—Herxheimer-like reaction developed which showed the phases described in artificially-induced endotoxin fever. 3.

Bleeding in louse-borne relapsing fever I. Clinical studies in 37 patients

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1971
Abstract 37 patients with louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) were investigated. In 21 there was evidence of bleeding. Thrombocytopenia, with platelelet counts below 150,000/c.mm., was found in 31 (84%). This was attributed to increased consumption due to intravascular clotting and to pooling in the enlarged spleen. There was a significant correlation

Complement inhibition by a unique cluster of immunomodulatory outer surface proteins of Borrelia recurrentis

Nature Communications
Borrelia recurrentis, the agent of louse-borne relapsing fever, causes a poverty-associated, infectious disease of high mortality. Here, we identified and characterized five Complement targeting and Host Interacting proteins, ChiA to ChiE displaying ...

A NEW CASE OF LOUSE-BORNE RELAPSING FEVER IN SICILY: CASE REPORT AND MINI REVIEW [PDF]

, 2017
Body lice transport B. recurrentis from man to man and humans are the only host. The presence of lice in Italy and an increasing number of cases in migrants can contribute to the onset of autochthonous cases.

Meptazinol diminishes the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction of relapsing fever.

, 1983
Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, and meptazinol, an opioid antagonist with agonist properties, were tested in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 24 Ethiopian patients with louse-borne relapsing fever.
