Summary

[edit]
Description

This illustration depicts the morphologic characteristics of a typical louse egg, and the manner in which it is attached to the mammalian host’s hair shaft.

The eggs are glued to the hairs of the mammalian host. All louse eggs have a cap. During the hatching process the young louse pushes at the “cap” from the inside forcing off the cap, thereby, enabling the nymphal louse to emerge from the egg.
