Vaccuuming method as a successful strategy in the diagnosis of active infestation by Pediculus humanus capitis [PDF]
Most human epidemiological and clinical studies use visual inspection of the hair and scalp to diagnose Pediculus humanus capitis , however this method has low sensitivity to diagnose active infestations (presence of nymphs and adult lice). Vacuuming the

The unusual reproductive system of head and body lice (Pediculus humanus) [PDF]
AbstractInsect reproduction is extremely variable, but the implications of alternative genetic systems are often overlooked in studies on the evolution of insecticide resistance. Both ecotypes of Pediculus humanus (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae), the human head and body lice, are human ectoparasites, the control of which is challenged by the recent spread ...

Development of a Technique Using Artificial Membrane for In Vitro Rearing of Body Lice Pediculus humanus humanus [PDF]
Human lice are the only hematophagous ectoparasites specific to human hosts. They transmit epidemic typhus, trench fever and relapsing fever, diseases which have already caused millions of deaths worldwide. In order to further investigate lice vectorial capacities, laboratory-controlled live lice colonies are essential.

Hidden in plain sight: Pediculosis corporis identified through dermoscopy [PDF]
Pediculosis corporis is an ectoparasitic infestation often overlooked due to its nonspecific symptoms and association with poor hygiene and overcrowding. We report a case of a 75-year-old man presenting with generalized pruritus and excoriations, where a
