Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice) and Pediculus humanus humanus (body lice): Response to laboratory temperature and humidity and susceptibility to monoterpenoids
(Springer, 2009-07)
Human pediculosis is produced by Pediculus humanus humanus (Linnaeus 1758) and Pediculus humanus capitis (De Geer 1767). Laboratory-reared body lice, susceptible to insecticides, were used as reference in toxicological ...
Human lice show photopositive behaviour to white light
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-10)
We studied the behavioural response of body lice and head lice to white light. We also evaluated the influence of starvation and the presence of other individuals on this response. Experiments were performed in a rectangular ...

The genus Pediculus L. that parasitize humans comprise two subspecies: the head lice Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer and the body lice Pediculus humanus humanus De Geer. Despite the 200 yr of the first description of ...
Response of Pediculus humanus humanus (Pediculidae: Phthiraptera) to water or 70% ethanol immersion and determination of optimal times for measuring toxic effects
(Springer, 2010-05)
Human pediculosis is caused by Pediculus humanus humanus (Linnaeus 1758) and Pediculus humanus capitis (De Geer 1767). We studied the response of body lice to immersion in water and ethanol 70% and determined the optimal ...

The sensory machinery of the head louse pediculus humanus capitis: From the antennae to the brain
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-05)
Insect antennae are sophisticated sensory organs, usually covered with sensory structures responsible for the detection of relevant signals of different modalities coming from the environment. Despite the relevance of the ...
Prevalence and levels of permethrin resistance in Pediculus humanus capitis de Geer (Anoplura: Pediculidae) from Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Entomological Society of America, 2003-07)
Permethrin has been used extensively for control of Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer (Anoplura: Pediculidae) in Argentina since 1990, resulting in the development of resistance to this and other pyrethroids. This resistance ...
Mouthpart sensory structures of the human head louse Pediculus humanus capitis
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Head 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 ...
