Pediculus humanus capitis: an update
Head lice infestation, or pediculosis capitis, caused by Pediculus humanus capitis, is a common health concern. In the US, where pediculosis capitis is the most prevalent parasitic infestation of children, 6 to 12 million people are affected every year. Pediculosis capitis remains confined to the scalp. Scalp pruritus is the cardinal symptom, although patients with lice can be asymptomatic. Pru...
متن کاملThe potential effectiveness of essential oils as a treatment for headlice, Pediculus humanus capitis.
Essential oils of aniseed, cinnamon leaf, red thyme, tea tree, peppermint, nutmeg, rosemary, and pine were tested in vitro against lice, Pediculus humanus. All the oils except for rosemary and pine were found to be effective in the laboratory when applied in an alcoholic solution and followed by a rinse the following morning in an essential oil/vinegar/water mixture. Peppermint and nutmeg were ...
متن کاملIsoenzymes of human lice: pediculus humanus and P. capitis.
Human lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) from Africa, America and Europe were electrophoresed for 28 enzymes, with special interest in metabolic factors likely to be involved with insecticide resistance. Zymogram profiles of the body louse (Pediculus humanus L. from France and U.S.A.) and the head louse (P. capitis DeGeer from France, Madagascar, Mali & Senegal) were compared. Only esterase two e...
متن کاملPediculus Humanus Capitis in an Immuno Compromised Patient
A 58 year old welder was treated for oat cell carcinoma of the bronchus on a general medical ward, with a combination of Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide and Etoposide. Within two weeks he had developed drug induced bone marrow suppression and subtotal alopecia, sparing only his eyelashes, eyebrows and nipple hair. He subsequently contracted pediculo-sis in these areas, which could not be isolated ...
متن کاملThe fumigant and repellent activity of aliphatic lactones against Pediculus humanus capitis (Anoplura: Pediculidae).
New alternative insecticides are necessary for the chemical control of head lice. In this study the fumigant knockdown time 50% (KT50) and repellency index (RI) of three aliphatic lactones was compared with two essential oils and DDVP, against permethrin-resistance Pediculus humanus capitis from Argentina. In the fumigant assay, none of the lactones were effective compared to the highest activi...
