This louse can transmit certain diseases while the human head louse (P. h. capitis), to which it is closely related, cannot. With their simple life history and small genomes, the pair make ideal model organisms to study the molecular mechanisms behind the transmission of pathogens and vector competence .
The moult takes place in two stages; [35] the back half is lost first, followed two or three days later by the front. This method of moulting is different from that of most arthropods, which shed their cuticle in a single process. It is theorized that this allows woodlice to maintain partial mobility while molting.
The first photosynthetic organisms probably evolved early in the evolutionary history of life and most likely used reducing agents such as hydrogen rather than water. [2] There are three major metabolic pathways by which photosynthesis is carried out: C 3 photosynthesis, C 4 photosynthesis, and CAM photosynthesis.
Argulus foliaceus, also known as the common fish louse, is a species of fish lice in the family Argulidae. [1] It is "the most common and widespread native argulid in the Palaearctic " [ 2 ] and "one of the most widespread crustacean ectoparasites of freshwater fish in the world", considering its distribution and range of hosts.

Head louse egg (nit) attached to hair shaft of host. Like most insects, head lice are oviparous. Females lay about three or four eggs per day. Louse eggs (also known as nits), are attached near the base of a host hair shaft. [11] [12] Eggs are usually laid on the base of the hair, 3–5 mm off the scalp surface.
