There are many different species of lice that are species specific. Human lice only live on humans, but there are bird lice, dog lice, cattle lice, etc. Many lice even limit their habitat to a particular part of the body, like the pubic louse.
There have been reports of lice using Hippoboscidae flies, or louse flies to travel from one host (especially a dying host) to another (alive and well) host. The process of one species carrying another is call phoresy. These lice are mainly those of the suborder Ishnocera. Most lice in this suborder are bird lice, although some are mammalian lice. I have not seen any studies or reports of human head lice using phoresy to transfer to new hosts.
