There is a handful of human lice species found worldwide and throughout the United States. The most common types of lice include head lice, body lice and crab lice. Only the body louse can transmit diseases to people. There are over 2,500 different kinds of chewing lice. They get their name because their mouths are designed specifically for chewing.
Lice that are found on the body are different from lice found on the head or on the pubic area. Infestations are generally spread by close contact with other people and are typically found in areas of poor hygiene and crowding. Other animals or pets, like dogs and cats, do not play a role in spreading human lice.n infestation of body lice occurs when a certain type of lice invade the body and clothing. Lice are parasitic insects that feed on human blood and can infest the head, body, and pubic area. There are three types of lice that infest humans: 1  head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis). 2  body louse (Pediculus humanus corporis).
