Abstract
[Extract] Sucking lice (Alloplurn) are ectoparasites of mammals. The highly specialised blood-sucking insects complete their entire life cycle on the host. As mammalian blood differs widely among species in terms of suitability for louse nutrition, lice are usually host-specific. A paradigmatic example is the head louse Pediculus capitis, with humans as the only hosts.
