Ectoparasite survey of schoolchildren in the Republic of Guinea

2025-03-24

Abstract excerpt

Ectoparasitoses, caused by infestations of highly contagious and ubiquitous parasites, include Pediculus humanus capitis (the head louse) and human scabies. These diseases affect many school-age children and are a major public health problem in low-income countries such as the Republic of Guinea. These parasites, such as lice, are known to be potential disease vectors. Given the lack of data on these conditions in...
