	abstract = {The susceptibility of the human body louse Pediculus humanus humanus ro the entomopathogenic rhabditids is described. Exposure of female lice to infective juveniles (IJs) of Steinernema carpocapsae {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}Pye{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} strain and S. glaseri in a Petri-dish assay resulted in high mortality levels (> 85 \%) within 24 h. Among female lice exposed to as of the {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}HP88{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} strain of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora 45 \% mortality was recorded after 42 h exposure. Lice exposure to the {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}Mexican{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} strain of S. carpocapsae for 42 h resulted in 65 \% mortality. The mortality of the louse females was directly related to increased dosage of S. glaseri IJs. Complete lice mortality was achieved with this nematode at 400 IJs/dish. Exposure of the lice to 800 IJs of H. bacteriophora HP88/dish resulted in 27.5 \% mortality. The highest number of nematodes was recovered from dead lice infected with S. glaseri (7.7 nematodes/louse). Abnormal development was observed among females of S. glaseri. which were shrunken, whereas males developed normally. The lowest number (0.2 nematodes/louse) was recorded in the lice infected with the {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}HP88{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} strain of H. bacteriophora.},

	abstract = {Newly arrived Ethiopian immigrants in Israel were screened for ectoparasitic insects and mites. Of 304 individuals examined 65.1\% were infested with the head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis). The infestation rate among children varied between 65 and 100\%. Children aged 6-11 years were the most infested group and no differences between girls and boys were found. The infestation rate in children was significantly higher than that found in adults. Approximately 39\% of those examined were infested with the body louse (Pediculus humanus humanus). The rate of infestation with this parasite was higher in adults than in children and higher in females than males. Ten percent of the immigrants examined were infested with the scabies mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) and 4.3\% with the human flea (Pulex irritans).},
