The 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 کاملLethality of essential oil constituents towards the human louse, Pediculus humanus, and its eggs.
Essential oils have been widely used in traditional medicine for the eradication of lice, including head lice, but due to the variability of their constitution the effects may not be reproducible. In an attempt to assess the contribution of their component monoterpenoids, a range of common individual compounds were tested in in vitro toxicity model against both human lice (Pediculus humanus, an...
متن کاملLetter: High-level of Heteroplasmy in the Mitochondrial Cox1- Minichromosome of the Human Body Louse, Pediculus humanus, and the Human Head Louse, Pediculus capitis
The mitochondrial (mt) genome of bilateral animals typically consists of a single chromosome, ~16 kb long, and contains 37 genes. Variation in mt gene sequence within an individual, i.e. heteroplasmy, is common in bilateral animals but usually occurs at very low levels. In the lineage that led to the human body louse, the typical mt chromosome has fragmented into 18 minichromosomes: each minich...
متن کاملTranscriptome identification of putative genes involved in protein catabolism and innate immune response in human body louse (Pediculicidae: Pediculus humanus).
Genomics information relating to human body lice is surprisingly scarce, and this has constrained studies of their physiology, immunology and vector biology. To identify novel body louse genes, we used engorged adult lice to generate a cDNA library. Initially, 1152 clones were screened for inserts, edited for removal of vector sequences and base pairs of poor quality, and viewed for splicing va...
متن کاملThe single mitochondrial chromosome typical of animals has evolved into 18 minichromosomes in the human body louse, Pediculus humanus.
The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of animals typically consist of a single circular chromosome that is approximately 16-kb long and has 37 genes. Our analyses of the sequence reads from the Human Body Louse Genome Project and the patterns of gel electrophoresis and Southern hybridization revealed a novel type of mt genome in the sucking louse, Pediculus humanus. Instead of having all mt genes on a...
