  abstract = {{P}ediculus humanus humanus is an human ectoparasite which represents a serious public health threat because it is vector for pathogenic bacteria. {I}t is important to understand and identify where bacteria reside in human body lice to define new strategies to counterstroke the capacity of vectorization of the bacterial pathogens by body lice. {I}t is known that phagocytes from vertebrates can be hosts or reservoirs for several microbes. {T}herefore, we wondered if {P}ediculus humanus humanus phagocytes could hide pathogens. {I}n this study, we characterized the phagocytes from {P}ediculus humanus humanus and evaluated their contribution as hosts for human pathogens such as {R}ickettsia prowazekii, {B}artonella {Q}uintana, and {A}cinetobacter baumannii.},
