| Abstract: | Parasites are as much at risk of extinction as their hosts, if not more so. Herein it is proposed that an effort be made to protect the pubic louse, Pthirus pubis, from population decline and eventual extinction. Reasons for population decline are discussed, and the potential benefits of maintaining the louse population are explored |
