Treatment Resistance in Louse Control
While there problems facing the physician in treating individual patient for lice/ such choice of pediculicide, from the public health view greatest is lice control in entire populations. This paper deals mainly with problems encountered in delousing campaigns. These may be associated with the organization and implementation of delousing under difficult conditions the problems of louse resistan...
متن کاملThe Experimental Infection of the Human Body Louse, Pediculus Humanus Corporis, with Murine and Epidemic Louse-borne Typhus Strains
Experiments are described which demonstrate that human body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis), were infected experimentally with murine and epidemic louse-borne strains of typhus fever by feeding on suitably prepared rabbits. Details of the two methods of infection, the "bleb technique" and the "I.V. technique," are presented. It is concluded that the experimental infection of human lice with t...
متن کاملAvoiding Extinction by Migration: the Case of the Head Louse
The possibility of spreading by migration, colonizing new spatial domains suitable for development and reproduction, can substantially relieve a biological population from the risk of extinction. By means of a realistic computational model based on empirical data, we study this phenomenon for the human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis. In particular, we show that a lice colony infesting a ...
متن کاملThe louse is (no longer) in the house.
Evidence Trials found the following statistically significant results. • Two RCTs compared dimeticone with permethrin. -A British RCT of 90 patients (aged 2 to 45)1 compared 4% dimeticone once with 1% permethrin twice (1 week apart) and found more dimeticone patients were lice free at day 9 (80% vs 36%, number needed to treat [NNT] = 3). Adverse events were similar and none were serious. -A Bra...
متن کاملLessons from sea louse and salmon epidemiology.
Effective disease management can benefit from mathematical models that identify drivers of epidemiological change and guide decision-making. This is well illustrated in the host-parasite system of sea lice and salmon, which has been modelled extensively due to the economic costs associated with sea louse infections on salmon farms and the conservation concerns associated with sea louse infectio...
