The P Corporis with Egg Model (SKU JC-BE-5211) is a enlarged parasitology teaching model depicting pediculus corporis (body louse) with egg. The body louse is larger than the head louse, lives in the seams of clothing and moves to the skin only to feed, gluing its eggs to clothing fibres; it transmits epidemic typhus, relapsing fever and trench fever. As a body louse model, it gives schools, colleges, medical and public health institutes a reusable aid for teaching body lice and louse-borne disease without a preserved specimen.
