I removed the following from this article, as it is related to a different order of animals, and it was taking up more space than the main focus of this article. "Sucking lice are responsible for the spread of disease in humans and domestic animals. Pediculosis is an infestation of lice anywhere on the human body.   It is usually characterized by skin irritation, allergic reactions, and a general feeling of malaise.   In addition, the human body louse is responsible for the spread of relapsing fever (Borellia recurrentis), epidemic typhus (Rickettsia prowazeki), and trench fever (Rickettsia quintana).   Lice associated with domestic animals have also been implicated in the transmission of disease (e.g., hog lice spread pox virus and cattle lice spread rickettsial anaplasmosis)."
