	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).},

	abstract = {Fourteen pediculicides currently available in Israel were evaluated for their killing effect on the eggs, nymphs and adults from a laboratory-grown colony of body lice (Pediculus humanus humanus). The efficacy of all pediculicides was determined after a single treatment. The exposure time of the lice to the preparations was according to the manufacturers{\textquoteright} instructions. The shampoo formulations HAFIF(R) (Abic, Israel), PYRACIDE(R) (Fischer, Israel), A-200 PYRINATE(R) (Norcliff Thayer, USA) and T-PAL(R) (Fischer, Israel) killed 27-78\% of the lice and 7-26\% of the eggs. PRIODERM(R) (Rafa, Israel) shampoo caused 100\% mortality of lice and 13\% mortality of eggs. The gel formulation (A-200 Pyrinate) resulted in 100\% mortality of lice and 42\% mortality of eggs. The liquid formulation (PYRINYL(R), Barre, USA) gave poor results with only 65\% killing of lice and 26\% of the eggs. The spray formulations (KIN-X(R) and KIN-SOFF(R), Milchan, France; and RICIDE(R), Fischer) killed all the lice and 77-95\% of the eggs. Lotion and solution formulations (Hafif; MONOCIDE(R), Fischer; and NOURYL(R), Chefaro, Holland) caused 100\% mortality of lice and 36-85\% mortality of eggs. Mortality with control solutions varied between 4 and 16\% for both lice and eggs.},
