|
| 4. | The human head and body lice are known as Pediculus humanus and the chimpanzee louse is Pediculus schaeffi.
|
| 5. | Some species including " Pediculus humanus " ( lice ) have multiple chromosomes in the mitochondrion.
|
| 6. | Curiously, this pattern is not found in the human body louse ( " Pediculus humanus " ).
|
| 7. | Experiments with " Pediculus humanus humanus " ( body lice ) emphasize the attendant hazards of lice copulation.
|
| 8. | Reed's new finding raises the intriguing possibility that humans contracted one strain of the Pediculus louse from another host species.
|
| 9. | But Pediculus humanis capitis _ the common head louse _ is one family memento that's best just to leave at home.
|
| 10. | That louse would have belonged to the genus Pediculus and evolved into two sister species when the human and chimp lineages parted ways.
