	note = {"Between 1953 and 1956 the WHO carried out a global survey of the susceptibility of body-lice to insecticides. A second survey was organized in 1958; this paper summarizes the results of susceptibility tests done in 22 countries over the period 1958-63. Resistance to DDT has been found in a number of countries. The LC(100) for resistant body-lice has been found to be over 5\% DDT; the LC(100) for hybrids to be between 1\% and 5\% DDT; and the LC(50) for susceptible genotypes has been estimated to be less than 0; 04 \% DDT. Body-lice continue to be susceptible to gamma-HCH and pyrethrins in most countries; although they show increased tolerance to gamma-HCH in Egypt. Their susceptibility to malathion in various localities in Egypt has been assessed; and the LC(50) found to range from 0; 02\% to 0; 032\%."},

	abstract = {Resistance to human body lice, Pediculus humanus humanus L, induced by feeding on rabbits immunized with an extract of louse gut was studied. The mortality of lice fed on immunized rabbits was 73\%, significantly higher than that of lice fed on control rabbits (52\%) (P < 0.01). The proportion of dead nymphs and female lice with ruptured guts was significantly higher in lice fed on immunized rabbits (P < 0.01). The size of the bloodmeal was 35\% greater in female lice fed on control rabbits than on immunized rabbits. Lice fed on immunized rabbits laid 40\% less eggs than those fed on the controls, they also demonstrated a significant decrease in the number of eggs per female over time (P < 0.01). 86\% of the eggs laid by lice fed on immunized animals hatched, compared with 92\% hatching of eggs laid by the lice fed on control animals (P < 0.01). With the exception of the first bloodmeal the percentage of hatched eggs which were laid between any two bloodmeals was significantly smaller (P < 0.01) in the lice fed on immunized rabbits than in the control group. The first nymphal stage of lice fed on immunized rabbits took an average of 5.2 days to moult to the second stage, compared with 4 days for those fed on control rabbits.},
