 Lice are host- specific, permanent parasites of animals, which are most prevalent in cooler conditions when the animals coat is longer.
 Lice are mostly spread by direct contact, as they can only survive off the host for up to one week. The eggs of lice are found on the host 'cemented' to the hair and the whole lifecycle takes around 2- 3 weeks to complete.
