High diversity and rapid diversification in the head louse, Pediculus humanus (Pediculidae: Phthiraptera). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractThe study analyzes sequence variation of two mitochondrial genes (COI, cytb) inPediculus humanusfrom three countries (Egypt, Pakistan, South Africa) that have received little prior attention and integrates these results with prior data. Analysis indicates a maximum K2P distance of 10.3% among 960 COI sequences and 13.8% among 479 cytb sequences.
