Genome-wide analysis of the human head louse ( Pediculus humanus capitis ) reveals geographically structured genetic populations

2023-04-04

Abstract excerpt

The human head louse ( Pediculus humanus capitis ) is an obligate ectoparasite of humans and has the potential to uncover aspects of human history that cannot be directly inferred from genetic data derived from humans. Previous studies have shown that global louse populations exhibit restricted patterns of genetic variation. However, these studies were restricted both genetically and lacked a global sampling.
