Molecular Characterization and Genetic Diversity of Haplogroup E Human Lice in Guinea, West Africa

27 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

Pediculus humanus capitis, the head louse, is an obligate blood-sucking ectoparasite that occurs in six divergent mitochondrial clades (A, D, B, F, C and E). Several studies reported the presence of different pathogenic agents in head lice specimens collected worldwide. These findings suggest that head louse could be a dangerous vector and a serious public health problem. Herein, we aimed to study the...
