Permethrin Treatment of Head Lice with Knockdown Resistance–like Gene

26 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

To the Editor: Chosidow and colleagues (March 11, 2010, issue)1 justify their study of oral ivermectin for the treatment of pediculosis capitis by the increasing resistance of head lice to pyrethroids because of amino acid substitutions (Thr929Ile and Leu932Phe) in the alpha subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel. These substitutions are considered to reduce or delay the insecticidal effects of permethrin...
