Abstract
This paper describes part of an extensive programme of research on new methods of controlling body lice carried out during 1940–1942. The work was initiated by Professor P. A. Buxton, F.R.S., with whom the writer was privileged to collaborate, and financed by grants by the Medical Research Council. The results proved for the first time the possibility of continuous protection against body lice over a period of several weeks after treatment. To some extent, the materials and methods of achieving this have now been improved or superseded; but it has seemed worth putting on record some details of technique and the results for their scientific interest.Keywords
