Extract

In a paper at present in the Press, we have endeavoured to show that where moderate or high infestations of men with Pediculus humanus corporis are present, the maintenance of these, and the level at which they tend to remain, are not dependent on the environment of the infested subject. The degree of infestation is a reflexion of the subject's recent standards of personal hygiene, and his habits at a given moment mould the structure of his infestation in the future.
