	abstract = {The susceptibility of human head lice, Pediculus humanus capitis, to three species of Argentinean entomogenous nematodes, Steinernema rara, S. feltiae, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Oliva and Rio Negro strains), was studied. All species and strains, except S. feltiae, killed adult and nymph head lice. None of the species killed the eggs. S. rara and the Rio Negro strain of H. bacteriophora killed both adults and nymphs; on the contrary H. bacteriophora Oliva was more aggressive to adults. Apparently, penetration into the lice body takes place through the spiracles, which means that the body size of the infective juveniles is a limiting factor. This is the first report of parasitism in head lice by entomogenous nematodes.},

	abstract = {Adults, nymphs and nits of the Pediculus humanus were found in a frame-house infesting the clothes and bedding of three inhabitants in a shanty town in S. Paulo county, S. Paulo State. A total of 198 nits were found glued in 15.0 cm2 of fibres of the infested clothing, giving a ratio of 13.2 nits/cm2. Having in view that the precarious living conditions, promiscuity, absence of basic sanitation and negligence of the sanitary authorities in various Brazilian cities, this situation should not be underestimated. This find should be more frequent than an isolated observation.},

The enzyme is activated by the bloodmeal with a pH optimum at 8. The enzyme is soluble in both. aqueous and detergent-containing solutions. The two forms of the enzyme had the same Km but exhibited different catalytic activities with regard to Vmax values in these solutions. The enzyme is inhibited competitively by a substrate analogue 1,10- phenanthroline and by Mn2+ ions in the presence and absence of detergent.},
