Recent studies have revealed that head lice, as is the case of body lice, can act as a vector for louse-borne diseases. Here, we aimed to study the genetic diversity of head lice collected from Niger\u2019s refugees (migrant population) arriving in Algeria, northern Africa, and to look for louse-borne pathogens. Comparative head lice samples collected from indigenous population of schoolchildren (non-immigrant) were also analyzed to frame the study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Parasit Vectors. 2018 Jun 15.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See full article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29907122\">Detection of bacterial pathogens in clade E head lice collected from Niger\u2019s refugees in Algeria<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHead lice, Pediculus humanus capitis, are obligate blood-sucking parasites.
