Records of bacterial agents related to head lice are non\u2010existent in this region of the continent. Many of these communities often do not have adequate access to public services and\/or health protection. The normalization of this condition prevents them from manifesting discomfort, such as bites and itching, which further aggravates the situation, as they can be vectors of important diseases. For this reason, the aim of this work was to identify the richness of bacterial pathogens (<jats:italic>Acinetobacter<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>) and endosymbionts (<jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic>) in head lice of paediatric patients from the indigenous municipality of Hoctun, Yucatan, Mexico. DNA extraction was performed using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit. For the detection of bacterial pathogens, fragments of the <jats:italic>gltA<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>rpoB<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>16S rDNA<\/jats:italic> genes were amplified. For the detection of <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic>, the <jats:italic>wsp<\/jats:italic> gene was amplified. Of the 28 lice analysed, the presence of two genera of bacterial pathogens was detected <jats:italic>Acinetobacter<\/jats:italic> (42.9%\u00a0=\u00a012\/28) and <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> (7.14%\u00a0=\u00a02\/28). We also detected the endosymbiont <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> (71.42%\u00a0=\u00a020\/28). Our results showed that DNA from three bacteria species (<jats:italic>Acinetobacter baumannii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Bartonella quintana<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Wolbachia pipientis<\/jats:italic>) was present with frequencies ranging from 3.57% to 71.42%. This work represents the first exploratory study of the diversity of agents associated with head lice (<jats:italic>Pediculus humanus capitis<\/jats:italic>) in Mexico and Latin America. Due to the findings generated in the present study, it is important to perform surveillance of head lice populations to identify the degree of spread of these pathogens and their impact on populations in the region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,21]],"date-time":"2022-06-21T07:35:42Z","timestamp":1655796942000},"page":"729-736","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["First
