Epidemiology of Pediculus Humanus Capitis Infestation in Malaysian School Children
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981A survey of 308,101 primary school children in Peninsular Malaysia conducted in 1979 by the School Health Services, Ministry of Health, Malaysia, revealed that 10.7% of children were infested with Pediculus humanus capitis. The prevalence rate was higher in the economically less advanced states of Terenganu (34%), Kelantan (23%), and Perlis (21%) than ...

Histochemical Analysis of the Nit of Pediculus humanus capitis (Anoplura: Pediculidae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1999Histochemical stainings of head louse nits were performed and observations indicated that the nit sheath was nonchitinous. One discernable membrane composed of hyaluronic acid was established that encircled the larvae within the egg. The structural framework of the egg included a definite lattice around each aeropyle of the operculum, through which ...

Mouthpart sensory structures of the human head louse Pediculus humanus capitis
Arthropod Structure & Development, 2020Head lice are exclusive human parasitic blood-sucking insects. Distributed worldwide among school-age children, this parasitosis generates scalp irritation and sometimes social prejudice. Understanding how head lice detect and perceive their human hosts is crucial to control transmission.

Malathion for treatment of Pediculus humanus var capitis infestation.
JAMA, 1982One hundred fifteen subjects took part in a double-blind study comparing the efficacy and safety of 0.5% malathion lotion (Prioderm lotion) and the alcoholic vehicle of the lotion as pediculicides in the treatment of head lice. The subjects, with a mean age of 9 years, had long-standing lice infestations and at least 20 viable ova.

Susceptibility of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) to pediculicides in Australia
Parasitology Research, 2003Infestation with head lice, Pediculus humanus capitis, is a worldwide problem, especially among primary (elementary) school children. Although studies in many different countries indicate lower levels of susceptibility to certain insecticides than expected ("resistance"), there is no empirical data from Australia.

Pediculus humanus capitis: an update.
Acta dermatovenerologica Alpina, Pannonica, et Adriatica, 2008Head lice infestation, or pediculosis capitis, caused by Pediculus humanus capitis, is a common health concern. In the US, where pediculosis capitis is the most prevalent parasitic infestation of children, 6 to 12 million people are affected every year. Pediculosis capitis remains confined to the scalp.

Pediculus humanus capitis on children in Mahé, Seychelles
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980The incidence of Pediculus humanus capitis infestation in pre-school and schoolchildren in Mahé, Seychelles, was investigated. High infestation rates were discovered, particularly in urban schoolchildren at district schools. Infestation in pre-schoolchildren increased with age. Girls were more infested than boys.

In vitro efficacy of five essential oils against Pediculus humanus capitis
Parasitology Research, 2017Treatment of head lice has relied mainly on the use of topical insecticides. Today, conventional topical pediculicides have suffered considerable loss of activity worldwide. There is increasing interest in the use of natural products such as essential oils for head louse control, and many of them are now incorporated into various over-the-counter ...

Quantification of blood intake of the head louse: Pediculus humanus capitis
International Journal of Dermatology, 2005AbstractAlthough head lice, Pediculus humanus capitis, are globally prevalent blood‐sucking ectoparasites, the amount of blood imbibed by head lice has not been determined. This study investigated this parameter, as regular loss of a small quantity of blood may lead to an iron deficiency and anaemia. Adult female lice (66), adult males (46), and nymphs
