摘要: Abstract A survey of 308,101 schoolchildren conducted in 10 11 states Peninsular Malaysia revealed that 10·7% have Pediculus humanus capitis infestation. The results treatment with 1%, 2% and 5% DDT coconut oil 374 cases reveal cure rates 3·5%, 15·8% 51·3%, respectively, suggesting the head louse has probably developed resistance to this insecticide Malaysia.
