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 ...

Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S-rRNA Gene. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepCandidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Infectious disease in the Pleistocene: Old friends or old foes?
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 4, Page 513-531, December 2023., 2023 Sources of evidence for studying infectious diseases of humans and other Pleistocene hominins. From top to bottom: DNA analysis of humans and hominins, modern and ancient, including the analysis of genomes at a population scale; palaeopathology, such as osteolytic skeletal lesions resulting from infection, and the study of mummified tissues or palaeo ...

Head lice as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms
Tropical Medicine and Health, 2023 Body lice and head lice are the most common ectoparasites of humans. Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) occur worldwide in children and their caretakers, irrespective of their social status.

The ephemeral resource patch concept
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 697-726, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs) – short lived resources including dung, carrion, temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi – are found throughout every ecosystem. Their short‐lived dynamics greatly enhance ecosystem heterogeneity and have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of a wide range of organisms – from bacteria to

Nuclear genetic diversity in human lice (Pediculus humanus) reveals continental differences and high inbreeding among worldwide populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the evolution of parasites is important to both basic and applied evolutionary biology. Knowledge of the genetic structure of parasite populations is critical for our ability to predict how an infection can spread through a host population ...

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 1088-1103, April 2023., 2023 Our high‐quality genome (3.06 Gb) and precisely annotated proteome (29,939) of the American cockroach help revealed a broader allergen spectrum. Seven novel allergen groups Per a 14 to Per a 20 and one isoallergens (Per a 7.02) were validated using ELISA in Thai cohort. Comparative analysis of P.
