The Prevalence of Pediculosis in Southern Iran From 2016 to 2021
Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Introduction One important measure of community and personal hygiene is the prevalence of lice. Healthcare providers and strategists must analyze this illness across several groups if they are to create sensible plans and services for its decrease. The objective of this study was to find the prevalence of head lice in Iranian endemic regions.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.Abstract Genetic analyses of host‐specific parasites can elucidate the evolutionary histories and biological features of their hosts. Here, we used population‐genomic analyses of ectoparasitic seal lice (Echinophthirius horridus) to shed light on the postglacial history of seals in the Arctic Ocean and the Baltic Sea region.

Studies on the cuticle of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus. [PDF]
, 1982 The cuticular ultrastructure and surface topography of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus, were examined. Under light microscopy, pore canals were readily observed in unstained, cryostat sections of cuticle from various locations on the insect, particularly those areas composed of smooth, sclerotised cuticle.

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.
