Abstract

Over 3000 samples of hair from the scalp have been examined from four places in Africa and three in Asia. In every sample (except one small one) infestations of crab-lice (Phthirus pubis) were found; in each place they were found in less than 1% of heads.The view is emphasized that the crab-louse has several ways of spreading through the human community.
