| the prevalence of pediculosis capitis in primary school students in bahar, hamadan province, iran. | head lice infestation caused by pediculus humanus var capitis (pediculus capitis) is a worldwide public health concern that affects mostly school aged children. this descriptive, analytical study was carried out in 2008 to determine the prevalence of pediculosis capitis and some risk factors among primary-school pupils in bahar, hamadan province, iran. | 2009 | 23344146 |

| prevalence of pediculus capitis in schoolchildren in battambang, cambodia. | pediculus capitis is the most common human ectoparasite. when it feeds on the blood through the scalp of its host, the anticoagulant in its saliva causes scalp inflammation and itching, and consequent scratching by the host causes further inflammation from bacterial infection. p. capitis infestation is currently a common parasitic dermatosis and a critical public health concern in underdeveloped countries. | 2017 | 29150362 |
| how long do louse eggs take to hatch? a possible answer to an age-old riddle. | there are no rigorous data on how long eggs of the head louse, pediculus capitis (phthiraptera: pediculidae), take to hatch. pediculicide users often report reinfestations after apparently successful treatments in the absence of infective contacts. this study aimed to resolve the question of whether some louse eggs hatch after the completion of treatment, thereby giving rise to a new infestation. data were extracted from the records of lice collected after treatments in 20 clinical intervention ... | 2014 | 24987776 |
| human phthiriasis. can dermoscopy really help dermatologists? entodermoscopy: a new dermatological discipline on the edge of entomology. | the diagnosis of human phtiriasis (often referred to as the "crab" or the "pubic louse") can be more difficult than other types of pediculosis (pediculus corporis and pediculus capitis) because this insect has a smaller body of 1.2 x 0.8 mm, may be lighter in color, not as mobile and therefore harder to see to the naked eye. can dermoscopy aid to perform a better analysis of the skin? the clinical experience developed in two patients gives an affirmative answer, moreover adding useful informatio ... | 2012 | 22370575 |

| [high performance liquid chromatography-validated analytical method for 1% permethrin quantification]. | in cuba, as well as in other countries, pediculus capitis infestation has increased since the 70's; this is the reason why a program aimed at controlling and preventing this infestation was designed. this program includes quality control studies of the active synthetic pyrethroid permethrin and its activity at 1% on lice and 5% on scabies. due to its low toxicity and positive risk/benefit ratio, permethrin is a pediculicide of choice to decrease pediculus capitis infestation. | 2013 | 23437540 |
