ENTOMOLOGY Flashcards
Medical entomology is
study of inserts that hv jointed legs/sppendages, segmented body
classification of arthropods
insecta : flies, mosquetoes, lice, fleas, bugs
diplopoda : milipedes
chilopoda : centipede
crustacea : prawn, crab
arachnida : spider, scorpion, mites,ticks
insecta features hv (mites)
3body segments head throx abdomen
6pair of legs
1pair of antena
diplopoda morphological features hv
many body segments
2pair of legs per body segments
1pair of antennae
chilopoda features hv
lipan
many body segments
1pair of legs per body segments

crustacea features hv (udang)
body segments vareid,
head thorax abdomen are fused
varied number of legs
2pair of anthena
arachnida features hv (spider, scorpio)
2body segments : cepthalothorax abdomen
8legs
no antanea
hemimetabolus
egg>nymph(juvenile)>adult
holometabolous complete life cycle
egg>lava>pupa> adult
role of arthropodes in medicine
vector of diseases intermediate host direct agent of disease threapy material for forensic investigations pest managment and vector control
arthropods as vector of disease can be thru
mevhanical
biological transmission vector : undergo reproduction or changes
propagative transmission is increase in number of pathogen inside the vector like
viral -dengue
bacterial - epidemic typhus(body lice)
cyclopropagative transmission is increase in the number of pathogens and metamorphomes
true
cyclodevelepmental transmission no increase in number but it develop from one stage to another like examples
human filariasis : mosquitoes
river blindness : black fly
direct agents are
dermatosis : skin infestion
scabies
mites
lice infestation
