Lice and bedbugs are from the same family, but are only distant relations.
Like me and my third cousin Lucie!

Lice, Ticks, BedBugs.
Bedbugs?... Why don't you just change your sheets and throw out the ones with bugs on them. Unless you are talking about head lice... Well, head lice would probably like the heat if you blow dryed them.
No, bedbugs and lice do not transmit dengue. Dengue is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito species, specifically Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. These mosquitoes are the main vectors responsible for transmitting dengue virus to humans.
Yes, body lice suck blood with a needle-like organ, just like bedbugs.

Yes
No swine lice is species specific
No, dog lice and human lice are not the same. Dog lice are specific to dogs and cannot infest humans, while human lice are specific to humans and cannot infest dogs.
No. Lice cannot live without being in contact with the human scalp. They will die after a period of 48 hours if they have been separated from the human scalp, and thus will not live in an empty apartment, unlike cockroaches or bedbugs.
Still lice the plural form is the same as the singular form
No, louse and lice are not the same thing. Louse refers to a single insect, while lice is the plural form of louse, referring to multiple insects.
Not exactly. Lice only like extra clean heads, while fleas aren't as picky as to hygiene and part of body. They are both parasites.
