Treatment of head louse infection is primarily through topical insecticides. However, there is growing evidence of resistance. A representative population sample was tested using biochemical and molecular methods; it was shown that, in Wales, treatments containing pyrethroids are likely to be less effective in controlling head louse infection than those containing organophosphates.
头虱感染的治疗主要通过局部使用杀虫剂。然而，耐药性的证据越来越多。使用生化和分子方法对一个具有代表性的人群样本进行了测试；结果表明，在威尔士，含拟除虫菊酯的治疗方法在控制头虱感染方面可能不如含有机磷酸盐的治疗方法有效。
