  abstract = {{H}ead and body lice are strict, obligate human ectoparasites with three mitochondrial clades ({A}, {B}, and {C}). {B}ody lice have been implicated as vectors of human diseases, and as the principal vectors of epidemic typhus, relapsing fever, and {B}artonella quintata-associated diseases (trench fever, bacillary angiomatosis, endocarditis, chronic bacteremia, and chronic lymphadenopathy). {U}sing molecular methods (real-time and traditional {PCR}), we assessed the presence of {B}artonella quintana {DNA} in black head lice collected from three locations in {S}enegal. {DNA} from {B}. quintana was identified in 19 lice (6.93%) collected from 7 patients (7%) in {D}akar. {B}. quintana-positive lice collected from three subjects were identified as clades {C} and {A}.},
