    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 2006 Sep; 91(9):777-8. PubMed ID: 16774979.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of head louse infection is primarily through topical insecticides. However, there is growing evidence of resistance. A representative population sample was tested using biochemical and molecular methods; it was shown that, in Wales, treatments containing pyrethroids are likely to be less effective in controlling head louse infection than those containing organophosphates.
