The LT50 and LT95 were established using different exposure times. Deltamethrin had the highest "knock-down" effect, followed by permethrin and malathion. All insecticides except dieldrin gave higher mortality for body lice than for head lice. No differences in the susceptibility between adult and nymph lice could be observed.},

	abstract = {The body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus, is a strict human parasite, living and multiplying in clothing. Louse infestation is associated with cold weather and a lack of hygiene. Three pathogenic bacteria are transmitted by the body louse. Borrelia recurrentis is a spirochete, the agent of relapsing fever, recently cultured on axenic medium. Historically, massive outbreaks have occurred in Eurasia and Africa, but currently the disease is found only in Ethiopia and neighboring countries. Bartonella quintana is now recognized as an agent of bacillary angiomatosis bacteremia, trench fever, endocarditis, and chronic lymphadenopathy among the homeless. Rickettsia prowazekii is the agent of epidemic typhus. The most recent outbreak (and the largest since World War II) was observed in Burundi. A small outbreak was also reported in Russia in 1997. Louse infestation appears to become more prevalent worldwide, associated with a decline in social and hygienic conditions provoked by civil unrest and economic instability.},

	abstract = {The obligation to prove pediculicides efficacy is relatively recent.  Two tests are required by the autorities to obtain registration, In  vitro test (with Pediculus humanus humanus) is the first step to  evaluate the efficacy of new molecules. It must be followed by  bio-clinical tests (with infested children by Pediculus humanus  capitis). For those tests the autors advise to respect the {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}three  units rule{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} : unit of time (no more than 2 days for the test), unit of  place (same environment) and unit of action (only one team to apply and  evaluate products). This type of tests is possible only in countries  with high infestation (at least 60 \% of prevalence). A third test is  consequently advised, the ex vivo test using Pediculus humanus capitis  obtained from infested children in France. This test can be useful also  to re-evaluate current products in the light of increased resistance or  decreased sensitivity of the lice. Finally some other tests can be  advised to prove some other activities like remanence or repellent  properties or to estimate lice resistance.},
