First molecular evidence of Bartonella quintana in Pediculus humanus capitis (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae), collected from Nepalese children.
Trench fever is a body louse-borne disease caused by Bartonella quintana Brenner. The recent status of louse infestation in Nepalese children is not well known. We collected head and body lice, Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer and Pediculus humanus humanus L., respectively, from 30 children, including 11 cases of double infestation with both head and body lice. Detection of B. quintana in both...

متن کاملPediculus 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 کاملمطالعه و مقایسه صفات مورفومتریک جمعیت‌های مختلف شپش سر Pediculus humanus capitis DeGeer (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) از جنوب شرق استان تهران
چکیده شپش سر انسان Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer متعلق به حشرات راسته Phthiraptera با دگردیسی ناقص از آفات بهداشتی عمومی است که سالانه میلیونها انسان را در سراسر دنیا آلوده میکند. مطالعهای درباره صفات مورفومتریک پنج جمعیت این آفت در مناطق شهری جنوب شرق استان تهران انجام شد. نمونه شپشها از مدارس متوسطه دخترانه طی پاییز 1393 تا بهار 1394 جمعآوری و در اتانول 70 درصد نگهداری شدند. پانزده ...
متن کاملA Genome-Wide Identification of Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Motifs in Pediculus humanus corporis (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae)
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins comprise a large superfamily of transcription factors, which are involved in the regulation of various developmental processes. bHLH family members are widely distributed in various eukaryotes including yeast, fruit fly, zebrafish, mouse, and human. In this study, we identified 55 bHLH motifs encoded in genome sequence of the human body louse, Pediculus hu...
