The body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus, is a strict human parasite, living and multiplying in clothing. Louse infestation is associated with cold weather and a lack of hygiene. Three pathogenic bacteria are transmitted by the body louse. Borrelia recurrentis is a spirochete, the agent of relapsing fever, recently cultured on axenic medium. Historically, massive outbreaks have occurred in Eurasia and Africa, but currently the disease is found only in Ethiopia and neighboring countries. Bartonella quintana is now recognized as an agent of bacillary angiomatosis bacteremia, trench fever, endocarditis, and chronic lymphadenopathy among the homeless. Rickettsia prowazekii is the agent of epidemic typhus. The most recent outbreak (and the largest since World War II) was observed in Burundi. A small outbreak was also reported in Russia in 1997. Louse infestation appears to become more prevalent worldwide, associated with a decline in social and hygienic conditions provoked by civil unrest and economic instability.

The following is substantially the authors\&$\#$39; summary. To investigate the mode of inheritance of dieldrin resistance in Cimex lectularius L. and Pediculus humanus humanus L., reciprocal crosses were made between normal (N) and resistant (R) strains of each species, and the susceptibility of the N parent strain and the F1 and F2 progeny was examined by exposure to a range of concentrations. Back-crosses were made from the F1 generation to the N and R strains, and the progeny examined in the same way. In some cases, further back-crosses were made after elimination of susceptible individuals from the progeny of the first back-cross. All the results with C. lectularius were consistent with monofactorial inheritance of resistance through a gene of intermediate dominance [cf. R.A.E., B 52 6, etc.]. With P. h. humanus, the results were complicated by an apparent maternal effect that caused the F1 and F2 generations from a cross between an N female and an R male to be less resistant than those from the reciprocal cross. In general, however, the results indicated genetic segregation consistent with the same type of monofactorial inheritance as that found in C. lectularius.

Publisher summary: Resilin is a structural protein, which was discovered recently as a major constituent of certain elastic hinges and tendons in the cuticle of locusts and dragonflies. It is also present as an insoluble gel-like component in certain patches of the cuticle of insects and crayfish. In many respects, it resembles elastin from vertebrates and may well be called \“arthropod elastin,\” but it differs from elastin in many important ways and lends itself more easily to studies of the rubberlike state in proteins, the number and nature of cross-links, and the formation of three-dimensional networks in biological structures. Pure unstrained resilin appears as a mass of optically and mechanically isotropic protein, both in situ and when dissected free. In the dry state, it is hard and brittle and is insoluble in all solvents that do not break peptide bonds. In aqueous media and also in many anhydrous hydrophilic liquids, it swells isotropically and reversibly; it then becomes rubbery, and then exhibits typically long-range deformability and complete elastic recovery. Both in situ and when free, resilin is easily digested by all proteinases.After complete acid or basic hydrolysis, it yields only amino acids of which fifteen are ordinary amino acids (no sulfur-containing ones and no tryptophan or hydroxyproline) and two are unusual and specific. When resilin is mixed with other substances, the bulk properties of the cuticle question may of course differ appreciably from those of the pure material, but in most cases, its presence can be established by means of simple tests\—such as mechanical behavior, strain birefringence, color reactions, swelling, and fluorescence.

Many parasitic species intimately associated with their hosts mate in the burrow, lair or rookery of the host, or on the host. Other species meet and mate on or near free-roaming hosts which they have sought out for feeding, oviposition or larviposition, whereas some blow fly and flesh fly species mate near dead \“hosts\” on which eggs or larvae are deposited. Another common method of encounter is meeting at a specific topographic site attractive to both sexes (e.g., a hilltop, stream or trail). Some species meet at emergence sites. In species of Diptera which aggregate at specific sites, males swarm or hover over a distinctively recognizable landmark or perch on or adjacent to the landmark. Males wait for females at aggregation sites for about 30 min. to several hours each day; females generally are present at such sites only as long as it takes to copulate. Pursuit by a male and subsequent coupling occurs after a female enters a male swarm or flies over a perched male. The opposite sex is accepted or rejected, within centimeters, on the basis of chemical, acoustic, visual or tactile stimuli. Sex pheromones or assembling scents have now been associated with several species of medical-veterinary importance, but these chemicals do not appear to attract from long distances. They seem more important as a means of contact recognition of the sexes after they have met. Females of most species mate only once, with members of the Nematocera and Brachycera normally mating before seeking a blood meal. Females of most Cyclorrapha, and many arthropods other than Diptera, feed on protein before mating.
