Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Pediculus humanus (P.h.) capitis infestation in school children in Sücüllü Village, Isparta.The study was conducted from April to May 2016 in Sücüllü Village. Hair of 204 students were examined for eggs, nymphs, and adults of P.h. capitis. Data regarding age, sex, family's type of living were recorded for each child.It was found that 9.3%of students were infested by P.h capitis. The prevalence of infestation was significantly higher in girls (17.4%) than in boys (p<0.05). School children in the age group of 8-9 years exhibited higher prevalence rates. Infestation rate was also high in livestock families (p<0.05).This study revealed that socioeconomic status is a major factor that influences the occurence of pediculosis among students of both sexes in Isparta. Infestation is more common in crowded families.
