Histochemical Analysis of the Nit of Pediculus humanus capitis (Anoplura: Pediculidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1999
Histochemical 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 ...

Susceptibility of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) to pediculicides in Australia

Parasitology Research, 2003
Infestation 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.
