What is another word for lice?

"Genital Lice" would be something called "Crabs" it lives in your genitals, but doesn't last very long off the body. In other words for Crabs it can be called HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and it can not be cured. As for the lice that lives on top of the head, then there is really no other word for it but lice, unless you want to call them "head bugs."
