Identification and comparative analysis of G protein-coupled receptors in Pediculus humanus humanus
The body louse has the smallest genome size among the known genome-sequenced insects. Here, 81 GPCRs were identified in Pediculus humanus humanus, 56, 14, 6 and 5 GPCRs for family-A, -B, -C and -D, respectively. These GPCRs constitute the comparable repertoire of GPCRs with other insects.

Analyzing Bacterial Communities in Pediculus humanus capitis
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.
