Phthiraptera (Piojos)

Orden: Phthiraptera

Descripción: A medida que los piojos pasan toda su vida en el huésped, han desarrollado adaptaciones que les permiten mantener un contacto cercano con el huésped. Estas adaptaciones se reflejan en su tamaño (0,5–8 mm), patas robustas y garras que se adaptan para aferrarse fuertemente al cabello, a la piel y a las plumas, y que no tienen alas y están aplanadas.

Lice feed on skin (epidermal) debris, feather parts, sebaceous secretions and blood. A louse's color varies from pale beige to dark grey; however, if feeding on blood, it may become considerably darker.

A louse egg is commonly called a nit. Lice attach their eggs to their host's hair with specialized saliva which results in a bond that is very difficult to separate without specialized products. Living lice eggs tend to be pale white. Dead lice eggs are orangeish.
