In order to investigate human-louse phylogeny, we partially sequenced two nuclear (18S rRNA and EF-1 alpha) and one mitochondrial (COI) genes from 155 Pediculus from different geographical origins. The phylogenetic analysis of 18S rRNA and EF-1 alpha sequences showed that human lice were classified into lice from Sub-Saharan Africa and lice from other ...

Molecular Evolution of Pediculus humanus and the Origin of Clothing [PDF]
The human head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) and body louse (P. humanus corporis or P. h. humanus) are strict, obligate human ectoparasites that differ mainly in their habitat on the host : the head louse lives and feeds exclusively on the scalp, whereas the body louse feeds on the body but lives in clothing.

In this study, we assessed the composition and establishment of the microbiome of insect eggs using the Southern green stinkbug Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) as a study object. Our results show that the egg‐associated bacterial microbiome is species‐poor and dominated by a few symbionts, particularly the species‐specific obligate Pantoea ...
