I'm betting on the bonobos. Bonobos use sex, constantly, as their means of social communication. I don't mean once in awhile, I mean hundreds of times a day. Male-female, female-female, male-male, child-mother, child-father: all sex, all the time, among bonobos.

So, they should be checking the genital lice of the bonobos.

The hardest part was collecting the gorilla lice

Bonobos are a subspecies of chimpanzee. They don't get panty crickets.

"Bonobos are a subspecies of chimpanzee. They don't get panty crickets."

Are we sure they don't?

""It certainly wouldn't have to be what many people are going to immediately assume it might have been, and that is sexual intercourse occurring between humans and gorillas," explained researcher David Reed......."

Yeah...sure!

I'll bet that is what David told his wife when he came home with the crabs.

I think this interspecies critter passing still goes on, but it's only a hunch.

It never ends?

I am not sure about anything when it comes to gorillas, chimpanzees or crabs, but the article states that chimpanzees do not get crabs, not "among chimpanzees, only bonobos get crabs."

It WAS quite a good one, but I doubt any of the younger set could get the full flavor.
