Consequences of louse infestation

Trichodectes canis acts as intermediate host for Dipylidium caninum. Heavy infestations of Linognathus setosus can cause irritation, leading to restlessness and can potentially cause anaemia.

Pediculosis or lice infestation generally causes squamous dermatosis, which is diffuse and causes a hair loss, and pruritus of varying intensity.
