The current study was conducted to understand the distribution of lice species in some poultry fields in some Baghdad regions from100chickens with 20 from each of the five locations. These were examined by inspection whole body and, then used kit for diagnosis. The maximum infestation was 60\% in Al-Sheha region followed by Al-Zedan, Al-Rashedia, and Al-Tagi. The incidence of lice species Menacanthus corntus, Menopon gallinae, Columbicola columbae, Aaticola crasssicorins, Saemundssonia lari and were 8, 14, 9, 5 and 6\% respectively. Menopon gallinae Columbicola columbae, Menacanthus Corntus, Saemundssonia lari, was the most prominent species(14\%) followed by and Aaticola crasssicorins (9, 8, 6 and 5\% respectively). The highest lice species in region was Menopon gallinae and Saemundssonia lari (20 \%). followed by 15\% and Al-Tagi while the incidence of Columbicola columbae, andAaticola Menacanthus Corntu in Menopon gallinae, crasssicorinswas 20,15 and15 \%in Al-Al-Shehar In Al-Tagi region, the most abundant lice species was Menacanthus and Menopon gallinae (15\% for both species). The total incidence of lice species was 42 percentage.

Four pediculicides were tested against head lice in-vitro. The LT50 for Licid ranged between 10.75 (at conc. 50\%) to 25.08 (at conc. 1\%). All lice died with conc. 100\% within 5 minutes. With Malathion, the LT50 ranged between 4.23 to 9.3 at conc. 50\% to 1\% respectively. All lice died with conc. 57\% within 3 minutes. With Benzanil, the LT50 ranged between 20.85 to 44.34 at conc. 50\% to 1\% respectively. All lice died at conc. 2.5\% within 10 minutes. With Para plus, the LT50 ranged between 18.46 to 29.5 at conc. 100\% to 50\% respectively. All lice died with conc. 100\% within 30 minutes. So, the least time needed to kill all lice was given with Malathion (3 minutes). The least dose of pediculicide needed to kill all lice was those of Benzanil (1\% = 0.025) and Malathion (1\% = 0.57). The whole results were discussed regarding the advantages and disadvantages of these pediculicides.

Human lice is an increasing community health problem worldwide. This is particularly true among school children who spend most of their daytime in crowded areas. Four commercially known insecticides and three medicinal plant extracts were studied to evaluate their pediculicidal activities in-vitro. The best result with insecticides was achieved with malathion (Lt5o 10.396 and slope function 1.183). The best result with medicinal plant extracts was achieved with neem oil (A. indica) (Lt5o 85.27 and slope function 1.480). Although, neem oil extract was less active than malathion, yet it is more safe for human usage.

Human lice (head and body) are among the arthropod-ectoparasites of worldwide distribution. Examining students in primary, preparatory and secondary schools recorded prevalence rates of 21.86\%, 30.38\% and 12.94\% respectively. The overall rate of the lice infestation in the three schools was 384 out of 1772 or 21.67\%. The prevalence rate of lice infestation among males and females were 17.02\% \& 37.8\% (primary school), 27.8\% \& 33.1\% (preparatory school), and 12.0\% \& 13.9\% (secondary school). These totaled 17.7\% (males) and 30.26\% (females). The overall ratio of head to body lice was 18.2:1. Consequently, lice mainly the head louse, are still a public health problem particularly among female students in the primary and preparatory schools. In the secondary school prevalence rate of the lice infestation was low. So human lice is still a community health problem.

Rodents serve as reservoir hosts for many parasitic and bacterial diseases which are spread to man and animals by their habits, their droppings or by their arthropod ectoparasites. Commensal (semi-domestic) rodents were collected by different methods from Sharkia Governorate over a period of one year, 1989. The trapped rodents in descending order of prevalence were Rattus norvegicus, Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Gerbillus gerbillus. The ectoparasites were collected and identified as five species of fleas, one species of lice and one species of mites. The role of these rodents as animal reservoirs and their ectoparasites as vectors of zoonotic diseases was discussed.
