DESCRIPTION

  • Order Anophera (anopl, unarmed; ura,tail); Siphunculata; sucking lice.


  • BODY CHARACTERISTICS -- minute; dorsoventrally flattened; head narrower than thorax.


  • MOUTHPARTS -- piercing-sucking; retracted into head when not feeding.


  • EYES AND OCELLI -- compound eyes weakly developed or lacking; dorsal ocelli lacking.


  • ANTENNAE -- short; 3 to 5 segments.


  • WINGS -- lacking.


  • LEGS -- 1-segmented tarsi; tarsi usually adapted for grasping hairs.


  • ABDOMEN -- cerci lacking.


  • types of body lice
      Anoplura, sucking lice.
      A. Crab louse, Phthirus pubis.
      B. Human louse, Pediculus humanus.
      C. Egg or nit of crab louse attached to host hair.
      D. Egg of human head louse attached to host hair.

    Sucking lice are all blood-feeders. They attack a wide variety of mammals, even marine forms (e.g., seals), and are highly host specific.

    The major pests of domestic animals in this order are in the families Haematopinidae (e.g., the hog louse, Haematopinas suis) and Linognathidae (e.g., Linognathus vituli, the long-nosed ox louse).

    Two species of sucking lice attack humans, Phthirus pubis (Fig. A) and Pediculus humanus (Fig. B). Some systematists include these two species in a single family, Pediculidae; others split them into two families, Pediculus in Pediculidae and Phthirus in Phthiriidae.

  • Phithirus pubis is the human pubic louse or crab louse and infests the pubic and armpit areas, although it may be found in other parts of the body with course hair. This louse causes intense itching, and an infestation may result from contact with an already infested individual via toilet seats, blankets, and sexual intercourse. The life cycle ordinarily takes about 1 month to complete and the eggs, or nits, are attached to hairs on the host (Fig. C). Pubic lice are not known to transmit any human pathogens.

  • Pediculus humanus can be divided into two subspecies, P. humanus capitis, the head louse, and P. humanus corporis, the body louse. The first infests particularly the head region, but it has been found on other hair areas of the body. The body louse infests regions that come into frequent or continuous contact with clothing (e.g., armpits, neck, and crotch). The eggs are usually attached to clothing which provides an ideal vehicle for transmission to a new host. Head lice, on the other hand, attach their eggs to hairs (Fig. D), and a new infestation may result from contact with a stray hair bearing an egg. Both head and body lice are spread via direct contact. They develop quite rapidly, a complete generation occurring in about 3 weeks.

    Infestation with lice is sometimes referred to as pediculosis. The attendant discomforts range from intense itching to anemia and pathologic changes in the skin resulting from the chronic feeding of lice and the associated blood loss. In addition to the problems caused directly by their feeding, body lice are involved in the transmission of a number of human pathogens, the most important of which are epidemic relapsing fever, caused by a spirochaete, Borrelia recurrentis; epidemic typhus, caused by a rickettsia, Rickettsia prowazekii; and murine typhus fever, caused by Rickettsia typhi. All three of these diseases have occurred in large epidemics and in the case of epidemic typhus have claimed thousands of lives, particularly during wartime when populations become highly concentrated and sanitary practices are lax. Several other pathogenic microbes may be transmitted by lice.

  • NUTRITION RECOMMENDATIONS

    To promote healing, eat plenty of foods high in zinc, such as soybeans, sunflower seeds, wheat bran, whole-grain products, yeast, and blackstrap molasses. Do not drink soft drinks or alcoholic beverages. Consume no sugar, chocolate, or junk foods. Avoid fried foods and all animal products. Use cold-pressed vegetable oils only.

    LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

    Diet alone cannot cure scabies. To get rid of the mites that cause scabies, apply permethrin cream (Elemite) or 25 percent benzlbenzoate topically to the entire body from the neck down, as directed on the label or prescribed by your health care provider. Follow directions for washing bedding and clothing. Rid spray, which contains permethrin, may be recommended for treating infested clothes and bedding. Practice scrupulous personal hygiene. Avoid contact with infested persons and their clothing.
