Abstract excerpt

Pediculosis capitis remains a common ectoparasitic infestation in Malaysia, particularly among children in overcrowded and resource-limited settings. Permethrin-based pediculicides continue to be widely used; however, global reports of knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel gene raise concerns regarding reduced treatment efficacy. Despite extensive epidemiological data on...
