Infectious disease in the Pleistocene: Old friends or old foes?

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

Notes on the Biology of Pediculus humanus [PDF]

open access: yesParasitology, 1917
During the two years preceding the outbreak of war, Dr Hindle was engaged in researches on the biology of lice. Soon after the war began he joined the army, leaving his notes with me. He has now been in France for over a year and is serving as Captain in the Royal Engineers.

The ephemeral resource patch concept

open access: yesBiological 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

Head lice as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms

open access: yesTropical 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.

Genome assembly and annotation of Periplaneta americana reveal a comprehensive cockroach allergen profile

open access: yesAllergy, 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.

Nuclear genetic diversity in human lice (Pediculus humanus) reveals continental differences and high inbreeding among worldwide populations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Of lice and math: using models to understand and control populations of head lice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper we use detailed data about the biology of the head louse (pediculus humanus capitis) to build a model of the evolution of head lice colonies.

Phylogenomics of the family Lachesillidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 316-327, April 2023., 2023
Monophyly of bark lice family Lachesillidae never was recovered. Monophyly of the tribe Graphocaeciliini and the genus Lachesilla never were recovered. Systematic position of Eolachesilla chilensis was unstable across different analyses and data sets.

Human lice (1997) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
There are three recognized kinds of human lice, whose common names indicate their preferred feeding site: head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis); body lice (Pediculus humanus humanus); and crab or pubic lice (Phthirus pubis).
