	MSN Encarta - Louse
		The wood louse (also known as sow bug), a crustacean, is so called because of its superficial resemblance to lice.
		The crab louse is classified as Phthirus pubis, the body louse as Pediculus humanus humanus, the head louse as Pediculus humanus captitis, and the hog louse as Haematopinus suis.
		The horse louse is classified as Haematopinus asini and the cattle lice as Haematopinus eurysternus and Linognathus vituli.

	Human Head Louse: Introduction to lice with photomicrographs.
		Louse is a term applied to an insect which fulfils two conditions.
		The oil suffocates the growing louse by sealing the air vents in the operculum of the egg casing.
		The female louse attaches the egg close to the scalp with a transparent quick-setting glue.

	Head louse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the name implies, head lice are specialized to live among the hair present on the human head and are exquisitely adapted to living mainly on the scalp and neck hairs of their human host.
		The female louse glues her eggs, sometimes called "nits", which look like tiny white beads, to hair shafts very close to the scalp.
		There are three nymph instar stages as the baby louse matures, with the louse shedding its exoskeleton at the end of each stage as it gets larger.

	Body Louse
		It is, in fact, probable that the louse now found on modern man is the same or closely related to the species that infested early man. In most periods of history lice have been regarded as something that one lived with, and the job of delousing one another was an important part of family life.
		Two types of louse are adapted for living on man: the human louse, and the crab louse.
		The human louse occurs in two forms, the body louse and the head louse, and these are very similar to one another.

	Olympus MIC-D: Oblique Gallery - Hog Louse
		The hog louse, Haematopinus suis, is an insect that is usually four to six millimeters long and is grayish-brown with dark brown and fl markings.
		As a chewing louse, the hog louse has a wide head necessary to support the relatively large mandibles that are an essential component of its mouthparts.
		The male is slightly smaller than the female hog louse and is characterized by a fl streak on its ventral surface.

		A third human louse, known as the crab-louse (Phthirius pubis) is found amongst the hairs on other parts of the body, particularly those of the pubic region, but probably never on the head.
		The louse of monkeys is now generally considered as forming a separate genus (Pedicinus), but the greater part of those infesting domestic and wild quadrupeds are mostly grouped in the large genus Haematopinus, and very rarely is the same species found on different kinds of animals.

	crab louse, Pthirus pubis
		The head louse and the body louse are morphologically indistinguishable, but are easily distinguished from the crab louse.
		This bluish-gray discoloration of the skin is due to a poisonous saliva injected by the crab louse, similar to the melanoderma caused by the body louse (Riley and Johannsen 1938).
		While feeding a crab louse grabs human hairs with at least one of its second or third legs which are adapted for this purpose.

		Unlike other blood-sucking invertebrates bearing the common name of louse, the fish louse is more closely related to lobsters, shrimp, and water fleas than they are to insects such as the human head or body louse.
		Although the fish louse poses no health threat to humans, it is of economic importance because their presence makes marketing a fish catch nearly impossible.
		The life cycle of the fish louse is near perfectly adapted to the episodic or seasonal appearance of migratory fishes.

		Three types of lice infest humans: the body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus Linnaeus, also known as Pediculus humanus corporis; the head louse Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer; and the crab louse (or pubic louse), Pthirus pubis (Linnaeus).
		The body louse is the vector of three human diseases -- epidemic or louse-borne typhus, caused by Rickettsia prowazeki de Rocha-Lima; trench fever, caused by Rochalimaea quintana (Schmincke) Krieg (long known as Rickettsia quintana); and louse-borne relapsing fever, caused by Borrellia recurrentis (Lebert) Bergy et al.
		In addition, lack of knowledge of the biology and ecology of the head louse resulted in the school administrator calling in the school district-contracted, pest control company and demanding that its personnel spray the rugs for control of the head louse infestation.

		They are all obligate ectoparasites of mammals and birds, excluding the Monotremes (the duck-billed platypus, the Echidna and spiny ant-eater) and bats.
		The male louse (right) is typically smaller than the female (left), whose posterior margin of the abdomen is more rounded than those of male lice.

		These crustacean parasites are infamous for their aggressive attachment and feeding behavior, grasping tightly onto their hosts using small spines, hooked appendages, and a pair of large suckers.
		A feeding louse will pierce and inject digestive enzymes into the skin or gills of a fish using a stylet -- a pointed, needlelike structure -- and then suck blood, mucus and enzyme-liquefied body fluids from the host.
		Because of their rapid procreative turnaround, if left untreated, fish lice may quickly infest an aquarium, pond, or fishery and are therefore of major concern to the aquaculture industry.

		Lice are spread from human to human most often by direct contact or contact with contaminated clothing, etc. Body lice are restricted most often to the human body and head (some authorities believe the head louse is a separate species).
		Infestations with lice are not a serious problem (as long as the lice are not infected with a disease), but they can cause a number of uncomfortable symptoms, including skin irritations and intense itching.

		The reclusive head louse stays close to the scalp and usually is hard to spot on visual inspection.

		The crab louse occurs on man in many parts of the world and is almost exclusively a parasite of man. Ferris (1951) noted that it had been recorded from a chimpanzee from the French Congo.
		Most of what is known of the biology of Pthirus is due to two authors (Nuttall, 1918, and Payot, 1920) who confined small numbers beneath a stocking or in a small enclosure on the skin and observed them daily.
