A cross-sectional study included 888 students between six and 12\u2009years old from two urban communities with an unequal socioeconomic status between September 2015 and March 2016. A Pearson \u03c72 and multivariate logistic analysis were carried out to associate risk factors to pediculosis. The overall prevalence of pediculosis from both localities was 23.9%. The female gender; long and medium hair; living with someone infested; previously infested by head lice and curling hair were variables linked to a significantly higher prevalence of pediculosis (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01). Nevertheless, no significant differences were observed in the age groups, localities and socioeconomic status for human lice infection. Socioeconomic variables such as numbers of inhabitants, floors of house, beds and rooms; and parents\u2019 qualification did not show a significative association for pediculosis. Health education in schools is needed for pediculosis prevention and remove the stigmatization of this disease related to poverty.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tropej\/fmaa041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,23]],"date-time":"2020-05-23T11:13:48Z","timestamp":1590232428000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Pediculosis Affects Mexican Children from Different Socioeconomic Status Equally: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Rosa M","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Casas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Escobedo, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"},{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo en Ciencias de la Salud, Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ildefonso","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Salas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo en Ciencias de la Salud, Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"},{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maricela","family":"Laguna-Aguilar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Tecnol\u00f3gicos Industrial y de Servicios No. 66, San Pedro Garza Garc\u00eda, Nuevo, M\u00e9xico Le\u00f3n"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge J","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo en Ciencias de la Salud, Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcia L","family":"Medina-Ponce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Escobedo, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esteban E","family":"D\u00edaz-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo en Ciencias de la Salud, Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico"},{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Unidad, Monterrey, M\u00e9xico Apodaca, Nuevo Le\u00f3n"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021072906094388300_fmaa041-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2105","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-012-1575-0","article-title":"Pediculosis capitis: new insights into epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment","volume":"31","author":"Feldmeier","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis"},{"key":"2021072906094388300_fmaa041-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"138","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-777X.121994","article-title":"Prevalence and risk factors associated with pediculosis capitis in an impoverished urban community in Lima, Peru","volume":"5","author":"Lesshafft","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Global Infect Dis"},{"key":"2021072906094388300_fmaa041-B3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiol\u00f3gica (SINAVE).
