Molecular Characterization and Genetic Diversity of Haplogroup E Human Lice in Guinea, West Africa
<i>Pediculus humanus capitis</i>, the head louse, is an obligate blood-sucking ectoparasite that occurs in six divergent mitochondrial clades (A, D, B, F, C and E). Several studies reported the presence of different pathogenic agents in head lice specimens collected worldwide. These find...
