  abstract = {{T}he human body louse is known as a vector for the transmission of three serious diseases specifically, epidemic typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever caused by {R}ickettsia prowazekii, {B}artonella quintana, and {B}orrelia recurrentis, respectively that have killed millions of people. {I}t is also suspected in the transmission of a fourth pathogen, {Y}ersinia pestis, which is the etiologic agent of plague. {T}o date, human lice belonging to the genus {P}ediculus have been classified into three mitochondrial clades: {A}, {B}, and {C}. {H}ere, we describe a fourth mitochondrial clade, {C}lade {D}, comprising head and body lice. {C}lade {D} may be a vector of {B}. quintana and {Y}. pestis, which is prevalent in a highly plague-endemic area near the {R}ethy {H}ealth {D}istrict, {O}rientale {P}rovince, {D}emocratic {R}epublic of the {C}ongo.},
