Abstract Synopsis

  • The text reviews the biology, genetics, and ecology of human lice, including head lice and body lice, highlighting their potential to transmit diseases and the need for improved control strategies.
  • Recent genetic studies show that head and body lice are nearly identical at the molecular level, and environmental factors may influence the emergence of the more disease-associated body lice.
  • Current lice treatments, like ivermectin, face challenges such as resistance, emphasizing the need for new and effective pest control solutions.]
