Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are primarily a nuisance and do not transmit any known pathogens that cause disease in humans. They feed on human blood but are not associated with the transmission of infections like other ectoparasites, such as fleas or ticks. However, secondary bacterial infections can occur due to scratching the scalp, which may lead to complications. Overall, while head lice are bothersome, they are not considered a vector for disease.
