Management and Treatment of Human Lice

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Of the three lice (head, body, and pubic louse) that infest humans, the body louse is the species involved in epidemics of louse‐borne typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever, but all the three cause pediculosis. Their infestations occur today in many countries despite great efforts to maintain high standards of public health.

The Hidden Danger in the Eyelids: Diagnosis and Treatment of Bilateral Phthiriasis Palpebrarum - A Rare Pediatric Case Report

Türkiye Parazitoloji Dergisi
Phthiriasis palpebrarum is a rare infestation of the eyelids caused by Phthirus pubis. This condition is particularly noteworthy as it is a rare cause of red eyes in children and can often be confused with other forms of blepharoconjunctivitis.

Investigation of Morphological Characteristics of Pubic lice (Pthirus pubis, Linnaeus, 1758)

Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Tarım ve Doğa Dergisi, 2022
Pubic lice (Pthirus pubis) are obligate, permanent ectoparasites of humans, entirely dependent upon their vertebrate hosts for survival. Pubic lice have a very simplified body form as a result of their parasitic characteristics, being wingless and dorsoventrally flattened.

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 ...

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

Update Vulvadermatologie – Diagnostik und Therapie [PDF]

J Dtsch Dermatol Ges
Zusammenfassung Die Vulva stellt als periorifizielles Hautareal eine Übergangszone dar; dies bedingt funktionelle und physiologische Besonderheiten. In der Allgemeinbevölkerung und bei medizinischem Fachpersonal sind Kenntnisse zur Anatomie der Vulva unzureichend; unrealistische Vorstellungen bezüglich des Normalbefundes sind verbreitet.

Mitochondrial genome sequence comparisons indicate that the elephant louse Haematomyzus elephantis (Piaget, 1869) contains cryptic species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 112-117, March 2024.
African savanna elephant lice and Asian elephant lice differ by ~17% in cox1 gene sequence and by >23% in combined sequences of 23 mitochondrial genes. Mitochondrial gene sequence divergences between African and Asian elephant lice are 3.76–4.6 times higher than that between their hosts.

Pediculosis Palpaberarum

Gomal Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
The history of lice infestation in the human population is as long as 10,000 years. It has three major types: the one infesting body, head and pubic/ axillary area.
