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.

A Case for Lice: Using Lice from Archaeological Sites as Proxy Data to Further Understand Human Behaviour [PDF]
, 2021 Hair, body, and pubic lice plagued past populations just as much as they do today. These types of lice require a human host to survive, and they thrive in contact-rich and sedentary groups.

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

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.
