Knockdown-resistant mutations in head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) collected from schoolchildren in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia [PDF]
Sci RepHead lice infestation remains one of the most common child problems. This problem is not only attributed to the ability of head lice to spread rapidly but also because of the head lice resistance that develops from incomplete or improper treatment ...

Hemocytes from Pediculus humanus humanus are hosts for human bacterial pathogens. [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 Pediculus humanus humanus is an human ectoparasite which represents a serious public health threat because it is vector for pathogenic bacteria. It is important to understand and identify where bacteria reside in human body lice to define new strategies ...
