Exposure of female lice to infective juveniles (IJs) of Steinernema carpocapsae &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Pye&amp;#39;&amp;#39; strain and S. glaseri in a Petri-dish assay resulted in high mortality levels (&amp;gt; 85 %) within 24 h. Among female lice exposed to as of the &amp;#39;&amp;#39;HP88&amp;#39;&amp;#39; strain of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora 45 % mortality was recorded after 42 h exposure. Lice exposure to the &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Mexican&amp;#39;&amp;#39; 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 &amp;#39;&amp;#39;HP88&amp;#39;&amp;#39; strain of H. bacteriophora.&lt;/p&gt;
