Mortality response of permethrin-halloysite (HNT) composites on D. caprae lice with first and second hair wash.
Experimental Formulation | Number of Lice Survived/Time (h) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 24 | |
Hair coated with permethrin—HNT, no washing | 10 | 2 ± 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Hair washed one time after permethrin-HNT treatment | 10 | 3 ± 1 | 1 ± 1 | 0 | 0 |
Hair washed two times after permethrin-HNT treatment | 10 | 4 ± 1 | 3 ± 1 | 0 | 0 |
