Types of pediculosis

Of all 532 types of lice existing in the world, only 40 live in domestic spaces. Only 3 varieties of these small bond (adapted environmentally and evolutionarily to a specific host) ectoparasites are of real danger to humans.

The subspecies of Pediculus Captis de Geeer, the species of Pediculus Humanus linnaeus, the genus Pediculus linnaeus, the family of Pediculidae Leach - the louse of the human real head. An adult female parasite lives up to 38 days, delaying from 100 to 300 eggs during this time.

The subspecies of Pediculus Corporis de Geeer, the species of Pediculus Humanus linnaeus, the genus Pediculus linnaeus, the family of Pediculidae Leach - the lousy of the human real plane. An adult female parasite lives up to 48-60 days, delaying from 200 to 500 eggs during this time.

At temperatures above 40 ° C and below 22 ° C, monoxide larvae (living on the owners of the same type) parasite of the species Pediculus humanus linnaeus are not hatched. The duration of the cycle of the embryo development of the included subspecies ranges from 4-16 days, depending on the thermal parameters of the medium.

Type Phthirus Pubis Linnaeus, genus Phthirus Leach, family of Phthiridae Ewing - lobby linen, Ploshitsa. An adult female parasite lives 14-17 days, delaying 20-50 eggs during this time. Parasite larvae develop from 5 to 8 days at an average temperature of 36 ° C.

ANOPLURA taxonomy-lice: pounds and lice, new-winged insects, winged higher insects, insects, six-legged, trachen-drinkers, arthropods, decaying (multi-axial, polymeric), primary-resistant, bilaterally symmetric, eumathasoi (real multicellular animals), animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, animals, sprouts. organisms.

Types of pediculosis

Head (B85.0). It is caused by a transparent or grayish-beige shade with insects, which become red-brown or black after a direct act of bloodsucking.

The size of adults: 2-4 mm. Each of them bites the owner up to 12 times a day. The size of the white-yellow larvae (nits) of the head lice-from 0.6 to 0.8 mm. Parasites do not leave feverish patients and can do without food from 1 to 10 days. They live on their hair, rarely descend to the beard.

The signs of the disease are numerous and depend on the degree of neglect: it all starts with a slight itching, but it can result in abscesses, anemia or anaphylactic shock.

Types of pediculosis: Planean (B85.1). It is caused by parasites of dirty white color, which, having drunk blood, change the color to a darker. They massively leave people with high body temperature.

The size of adults: 3-5 mm. Each of them bites the owner up to 8 times a day. The size of grayish-brown, translucent nits of plastic lice-from 0.7 to 1 mm. Live in folds of clothes. Signs of the disease: itching, redness, blisters, ulcers, peeling and impaired skin pigmentation

With indications of 1-2 ° C in the air, it dies in four days. Able to break through after 30 cm layer of dry sand. The dimensions of the brownish-transparent nits of the ferts are from 0.5 to 0.7 mm. Live on the hair of the pubis, perineum growing around the anus. Less commonly climbed to the armpits, on eyelashes, beard or head.

Treatment and prevention of pediculosis: tips and reviews

• For those who have asymptomatic lush (so far). You can consider infection using: magnifiers, microscope, Wood lamps or video dermatoscopy
• Use repetiting repellents to prevent LiceGuard and " Parasidosis". Swim the children, spray. And then you will not have to be treated for weeks and months
• In childhood, I was treated with it with vicinal water, cranberry juice, birch tar and kerosene. Nothing terrible happened from such a treatment. Alive. All hair is in place
