Pubic Lice

Do pubic lice (crabs) only live in the hair (pubic or otherwise) of humans? If so why have they narrowed down their habitat just to pubes? Why not spread out to other areas of the body like scabies mites do? I know this is a bit sick but i’m genuinley confuzzled!

It’s to do with their body adaptions.

From here.

Do they only live on humans? Could say, a dog (Idread to think how) get them from a human?

I believe that they(the ones that affect humans) are specific to primates.
