The Prevalence of Pediculosis in Southern Iran From 2016 to 2021
Overall, the present study revealed a low prevalence of head lice in Fars Province, southern Iran; most of the individuals with head lice were elementary school-aged girls. Therefore, it is important to focus on interventions and policy-making with the aim of preventing infestation and the spread of disease among this population. Moreover, the general drop in yearly infestation shows how well Shiraz University of Medical Sciences' policies regulate the disease.
