The digestive system of human lice: current advances and potential applications

2009-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Haematophagy has evolved independently in different insect groups. This has resulted in the development of different kinds of adaptations (e.g. suitable mouthparts as well as alterations in the gut anatomy and in digestive enzyme composition). At the same time, insects have acquired different levels of adaptation to blood-sucking habits. One of the most interesting examples is the co-evolution of sucking lice (Ano...
