“…However, as Sonnberg et al pointed out, the age of the eggs on the head at time of the test are not known and rearing conditions are not standardized [6]. It will be interesting to see whether or not the ovicidal efficacy differs between tests where the eggs are treated on the scalp [our study, 3,4,5,7 & 8] compared to tests where the eggs were grown ex vivo off the scalp by the continuous feeding method (ie in a Plexiglas receptacle attached to the wrist of volunteers) [6,9]. "League tables" of clinical efficacy for each country/region might be generated by these approaches.…”

“…The significantly lower hatch rates obtained after intermittent feeding of head lice adults may reflect the need of head lice to feed repeated times in order to mate and lay eggs. In addition, there is the advantage of known age and therefore the possibility to evaluate differences in pediculicide susceptibility according to the age of eggs [9]. The continuous feeding method is simple to establish and cheap to conduct.…”

“…The continuous feeding method is simple to establish and cheap to conduct. We have previously used this method and have convincingly shown that high concentration dimeticone products have a high ovicidal efficacy, as compared to low concentration dimeticone, permethrin and pyrethrum [9]. Fig.…”
