Pediculosis is caused by:

The body or head louse
Fungal Infection
Bacterial Infection
Viral Infection

The correct answer is: The body or head louse

Pediculosis is a condition caused by an infestation of lice, specifically the body or head louse. Lice are small, parasitic insects that live on the human body and feed on blood. Lice are easily transmitted through close contact with an infected person or by sharing personal items such as hats, combs, and towels. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to types of infections caused by microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, and viruses) which are not responsible for pediculosis. It is important to note that pediculosis is a common and highly contagious condition that can be effectively treated with medicated shampoos and meticulous removal of lice and nits.
