Genetic diversity of human head lice and molecular detection of associated bacterial pathogens in Democratic Republic of Congo

7 Jun 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, is an obligatory blood-sucking ectoparasite, distributed worldwide. Phylogenetically, it occurs in five divergent mitochondrial clades (A-E); each exhibiting a particular geographical distribution. Recent studies suggest that, as in the case of body louse, head louse could be a disease vector. We aimed to study the genetic diversity of head lice collected in the...
