Analyzing Bacterial Communities in Pediculus humanus capitis

The FASEB Journal, 2015
Understanding the composition of the microbiome of human associated insects can shed light on the sources of potential human pathogens. The human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, is an obligate symbiont found in the hair of humans, especially children. It is known to harbor an obligate endosymbiont, Candidatus Reisia.

Isoenzymes of human lice: Pediculus humanus and P. capitis

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2000
SummaryHuman lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) from Africa, America and Europe were electrophoresed for 28 enzymes, with special interest in metabolic factors likely to be involved with insecticide resistance. Zymogram profiles of the body louse (Pediculus humanus L. from France and U.S.A.) and the head louse (P.
