A small number of species can affect people and domestic animals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Animals with lice infestations may be intensely itchy. Affected animals may rub against fences or other objects and rub off hair or fur. Lice can also cause anemia and reduced productivity in severe infestations. Some pathogens may be transmitted by lice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign vectors and foreign animal diseases (FADs) are not found in the United States and can threaten human and animal health. FADs can be introduced to the United States, so animal owners and veterinary personnel have a key role in recognizing and reporting FADs to animal and public health officials. Early signs of lice-related FADs may include:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unusual louse appearance or large infestations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large number of sick or dead animals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unusual signs of illness (like fever, anemia, and severe skin lesions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"about\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ea8149a4 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a0dcb56837d45193a1f2bbff159dbf0c\">About Lice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lice are tiny, wingless insects that live their entire life parasitizing animals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are two main groups of lice.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sucking lice feed on the blood of animals.
