Kutu is a New Zealand English term (from Maori) for a body louse — the parasitic insect Pediculus humanus that infests human clothing and skin. The Maori word has been adopted into New Zealand English as a natural part of the language's integration of Maori vocabulary. In New Zealand contexts, particularly in Maori communities and among those familiar with Maori, 'kutu' is the natural term for head or body lice, used without awkwardness in everyday and health contexts.
