| substantial variation in the extent of mitochondrial genome fragmentation among blood-sucking lice of mammals. | blood-sucking lice of humans have extensively fragmented mitochondrial (mt) genomes. human head louse and body louse have their 37 mt genes on 20 minichromosomes. in human pubic louse, the 34 mt genes known are on 14 minichromosomes. to understand the process of mt genome fragmentation in the blood-sucking lice of mammals, we sequenced the mt genomes of the domestic pig louse, haematopinus suis, and the wild pig louse, h. apri, which diverged from human lice approximately 65 ma. the 37 mt genes ... | 0 | 23781098 |
| the efficacy of australian essential oils for the treatment of head lice infestation in children: a randomised controlled trial. | the increase in resistance of head lice to neurotoxic pediculicides and public concern over their safety has led to an increase in alternative treatments, many of which are poorly researched or even untested. | 0 | 28266704 |
| management of head louse infestations in the united states-a literature review. | head lice are a source of scalp irritation, social disruption, and loss of school time. health care providers need authoritative information to help avoid the costs and risks of ineffective treatment. a review was completed to provide relevant information on infestation treatments available in the united states. three major biomedical databases were searched from 1985, when current products were first available, to 2014, focusing on u.s. | 0 | 27595869 |
| efficacy and safety of a mineral oil-based head lice shampoo: a randomized, controlled, investigator-blinded, comparative study. | due to increased resistance and safety concerns with insecticide-based pediculicides, there is growing demand for head lice treatments with a physical mode of action. certain mineral oils kill lice by blocking spiracles or by disrupting the epicuticular wax layer. the present study was performed to evaluate efficacy and safety of a mineral oil-based shampoo. | 0 | 27286033 |
| chemical composition and efficacy of some selected plant oils against pediculus humanus capitis in vitro. | natural compounds have been suggested as alternative sources for pediculosis capitis control. we aimed to investigate the chemical composition and evaluate the pediculicidal activity of spearmint, clove, cassia, thyme, eucalyptus, and anise essential oils in addition to sesame oil against human head lice in vitro. a filter paper contact bioassay method was used by applying 0.25 and 0.5 mg/cm(2) of each tested oil to filter paper in petri dishes with 15 females head lice and another with ten nits ... | 0 | 27112758 |
| identification of repellent odorants to the body louse, pediculus humanus corporis, in clove essential oil. | the control of body lice is an important issue for human health and welfare because lice act as vectors of disease such as typhus, relapsing fever, and trench fever. body lice exhibit avoidance behavior to some essential oils, including clove essential oil. therefore, odorants containing clove essential oil components may potentially be useful in the development of repellents to body lice. however, such odorants that induce avoidance behavior in body lice have not yet been identified from clove ... | 0 | 26864790 |
| comparing the efficacy of commercially available insecticide and dimeticone based solutions on head lice, pediculus capitis: in vitro trials. | head lice infestation is a public health and social problem for almost all countries worldwide. for its treatment, insecticide and dimeticone-based solutions are currently available in the markets in many countries. we aimed to compare the efficacy of commercially available anti-head lice shampoos containing insecticide and physically effective products with different percentages of dimeticone using an in vitro technique. | 0 | 26809918 |
| the potential application of plant essential oils to control pediculus humanus capitis (anoplura: pediculidae). | the human head louse, pediculus humanus capitis (anoplura: pediculidae), is an ectoparasite confined to the scalp and human hairs. the repeated use of insecticides for the control of head lice during past decades has resulted in the development of marked levels of resistance. natural compounds such as essential oils (eos) have been suggested as alternative sources for insect control agents. in order to introduce a new pediculicide based on eos, the effectiveness of the product and their effects ... | 0 | 26462802 |
| associations between dietary factors and urinary concentrations of organophosphate and pyrethroid metabolites in a canadian general population. | few studies to date have characterized the relationships between diet and urinary concentrations of pesticides. in the current study, associations between dietary factors and urinary concentrations of organophosphate and pyrethroid metabolites were examined in a canadian general population using data from the canadian health measures survey (chms). | 0 | 26141242 |

| the distribution of rickettsia in the tissues of insects and arachnids. | in the absence of a satisfactory definition of rickettsia the observations herein recorded were arbitrarily limited to bacterium-like organisms which are intracellular and gram-negative. rickettsia of this type were found in the following species: amblyomma americana, amblyomma hebraeum, boophilus decoloratus, atomus sp., casinaria infesta, chrysopa oculata, ctenocephalus canis, dermacentor variabilis, lepisma saccharina, lucoppia curviseta, margaropus annulatus, margaropus annulatus australis, ... | 1923 | 19868737 |
| the transmission of the virus of mexican typhus from rat to rat by polyplax spinulosus. | polyplax spinulosus, the common rat louse, is easily infected with the virus of typhus by feeding on infected rats. as in the case of pediculus humanus, such feedings are followed by the appearance of large numbers of rickettsia prowazeki within the gut of the insect. the virus of mexican typhus can be transmitted from rat to rat by polyplax spinulosus by methods of feeding simulating natural conditions. it seems, therefore, that this ectoparasite is an important factor in maintaining an endozoi ... | 1931 | 19869940 |
