	abstract = {<p>The cattle and buffalo farm practices have been adopted differently by farmers in India but the infestation of ectoparasites including louse has been advocated in high population of animals across the country. The aim of this study was to identify the louse morphologically and determine the in vitro efficacy of the insecticides deltamethrin, cypermethrin and flumethrin against the buffalo louse, Haematopinus tuberculatus. The present research work was conducted using lice collected from organized buffalo dairy farms of Mhow block, Indore district of Madhya Pradesh, India. The adult\&rsquo;s lice were collected from heavily infested regions of the body and tail of buffaloes. Some of the collected adult\&rsquo;s lice were preserved for morphological identification in 70\% alcohol. Briefly, in vitro treated surface bioassay utilizing a cloth rectangle that allows lice to move freely has been used. The concentrations were prepared as 30, 60, 90 and 120 ppm for deltamethrin and flumethrin, whereas for cypermethrin, 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm concentrations were prepared in distilled water. The 600 \&mu;l of each concentration was spread evenly over a cloth rectangle held in the bottom of a Petri plate. Ten adult lice were used for each concentration in triplicate (n = 30) and the same is maintained for control. The vitality of the louse was assessed at various intervals: 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 min. The lousicidal efficacy was determined by using in vitro bioassays with deltamethrin, cypermethrin and flumethrin. It is observed that as the concentration of insecticides increases with exposure time, mortality of lice is also increased. The current study reveals that cypermethrin and flumethrin were effective in their recommended doses but in the case of deltamethrin, the lice showed a low level of resistance. Furthermore, this type of study on buffalo louse has not conducted in Mhow region of Madhya Pradesh where heavy infestation of lice occurs on buffalo</p>

	abstract = {<p>Worldwide, 2\&ndash;10\% of human population is infested with pubic lice which are mostly found in the hair of pubic area, occasionally under the armpits, in the beard or mustache and on the eyebrows and eyelashes. They are usually transmitted through sexual contact or through toilet seats and bedding material. A twenty-year-old boy suffer- ing from severe itching in the genital region during night hours submitted the lice for their identification in Depart- ment of Veterinary Parasitology, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Mhow. These lice were identified as Phthirus pubis.</p>
