Nuclear genetic diversity of head lice sheds light on human dispersal around the world.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2023

Abstract excerpt

The human louse, Pediculus humanus, is an obligate blood-sucking ectoparasite that has coevolved with humans for millennia. Given the intimate relationship between this parasite and the human host, the study of human lice has the potential to shed light on aspects of human evolution that are difficult to interpret using other biological evidence. In this study, we analyzed the genetic variation in 274 human lice...
