🪲Crab louse
Die Filz- oder Schamlaus (Pthirus pubis, Synonym Phthirus pubis; vulgär Sackratte, Sacklaus) ist eine am Menschen parasitierende Tierlausart und einer der Erreger der Pedikulose. Sie ist mit bloßem Auge noch erkennbar und wird über Kleidungsstücke, Bett- und Handtücher oder bei engem körperlichen Kontakt übertragen. Einmal vom Körper entfernt, können Filzläuse bis zu 24 Stunden überleben, ihre Eier noch länger.
