Dermoscopy in the Treatment Monitoring of Cutaneous Infectious Diseases: A Review

Dermatologic Therapy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dermoscopy represents a powerful, noninvasive tool for assessing both active infection and therapeutic resolution in a broad spectrum of infectious skin diseases. Despite the different causative agents (parasitic, viral, or fungal), it allows to identify characteristic pathogen‐associated structures at baseline and sequential morphological changes ...

Xenointoxication of a Rabbit for the Control of the Common Bed Bug Cimex lectularius L. Using Ivermectin

Scientifica, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Human bed bug infestations have undergone a recent global resurgence. The human antiparasitic drug ivermectin has been proposed as a strategy to help control bed bug infestations, but in vivo data are lacking. We allowed separate populations of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., to feed once on a rabbit before and after it was injected ...

Isoenzymes of human lice: Pediculus humanus and P. capitis

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2000
Summary Human lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) from Africa, America and Europe were electrophoresed for 28 enzymes, with special interest in metabolic factors likely to be involved with insecticide resistance. Zymogram profiles of the body louse ( Pediculus humanus L.

Burden and Experiences of Head Lice Infestation Among Children in Western Australia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Head lice is an ectoparasitic skin infection commonly seen in primary school–aged children. In remote Australia, where rates of other skin infections and downstream sequelae are endemic, the rate of head lice infestation is unknown. Methods This multimethod observational study is aimed at describing the burden of head lice for remote ...

Prevalence of Ectoparasitic Infections and Other Dermatological Infections and Their Associated Factors among School Children in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Skin disorders are one of the commonest conditions among school children in developing countries. There are only a few published studies available from Sri Lanka on the prevalence of skin disorders. A community‐based cross‐sectional study was carried out among five government‐run schools randomly selected from the district of Gampaha, Sri Lanka, during

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Neandertal Cold Adaptation: Technological, Anatomical, and Physiological Responses to Cold Stress in One of Our Closest Fossil Relatives

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Neandertals occupied western Eurasia for over 100 000 years, repeatedly enduring climates that ranged from seasonally cold to glacial. This paper reexamines the question of Neandertal cold adaptation using updated fossil, physiological, and archaeological evidence.
