A

open.

Q

Class Insecta Reproduction

A

2 sexes, fertilization= internal
male locates female through chemicals (pheromones).

females store sperm in a special receptacle in abdomens
females mate only once and rely on sperm stored during that mating for the rest of their lives.

Q

Pediculus humans morphology

A
  • female= 4mm, lrg eggs seen in abdomen, post end=bifurcated
  • male= 3mm, copulatory organ reach post end= rounded
  • body:covered by yellow/ brown chitinous exoskeleton
    6 legs that end w/ curved chitinous claws- attach to hair
    they are doors-ventrally flattened+ NO wings

EGG= ‘nits’: Females lay 3-4 eggs per day.
To attach an egg, the adult female secretes a glue from her reproductive organ.
egg = oval-shaped, 0.8mm

Q

Pediculus humanus causes

transmitted diseases

A

pediculosis- severe itching, redness

Louse-borne Typhus = rickettsial disease .caused by “Rickettsia prowažeki”
it inhabits louse digestive
tract.
Relapsing fever caused by “Borrelia recurrentis” . It inhabits the louse hemolymph.

Q

Pediculus humanus life cycle

A

nits= headlice egg
1) nits laid by adult female near scalp.
2) eggs hatch + release nymph. they mature after 3 molts+ become adults(6 legs)
3) they feed on blood several times to survive. w/o blood they die

17
Q

Phthirius pubis morphology

A

2mm
body= round, is an obligate ectoparasite.
dorsoventrally flattened
6 legs w/ claws for clinging to hairs of host. back legs= thicker.front legs =equipped w/ large claws.

18
Q

Phthirius pubis habitat

A

in pubic hair. in areas w/ coarse (thick) hair

19
Q

Phthirius pubis cause

A

severe itching. DOES NOT TRANSIT DISEASES

20
Q

Phthirius pubis transmission

A

from person to person via sexual contact.
They cannot jump, and feed
exclusively on blood.

21
Q

Phthirius pubis life cycle

A

1) female eggs lays on hair shaft (30 eggs)
2) eggs hatch–> nymph (small version of adult) they most 3 times–> adult
require blood, w/o blood they die
3 NYMPH STAGES

22
Q

what is Cimex lectularius known as

what are they? hosts?

A

common beg bug

blood feeding parasites of humans, chickens, bats and
domesticated animals.

23
Q

Cimex lectularius morphology

A

body= dorsoventrally flattened covered by red- brownish chitinous exoskeleton ovoid w/ reduced wings.
mouth parts adapted for piercing + sucking. they inject saliva w/ antocoagulants+ painkillers
pair of antennae, pair of compound eyes.
male has present shaped copulatory organ

24
Q

Cimex lectularius reproduction

A

sexual dimorphism.
mate by traumatic insemination. male pierces female abdomen+ injects sperm into female abdominal cavity. they reach ovaries= fertilisation

25
Q

Cimex lectularius eggs

A

female lays 200 eggs, eggs laid on rough surface+ coasted w/ transparent coat =adheres them to substrate

26
Q

Cimex lectularius life cycle

A

cimex takes blood meals, females lay eggs. eggs hatch–> nymph which take blood meals + molts into next stage.
5 NYMPHAL STAGE (blood meal between each stage)
–> adult
adult takes blood meal, mating occurs (traumatic insemination)

27
Q

Cimex lectularius cause

carries

A

severe itching, skin rash
causes inflammation due to allergic components in saliva

carriers of leprosy, kin leishmaniasis, Q-fever

28
Q

what is Pulex irritans known as

A

Human flea- bloodsucking ectoparasites of mammals and birds

29
Q

Pulex irritans morphology

A

Small insect covered flattened body w/ yellow/brown Chitinous exoskeleton
no wings
posterior pair of legs elongated allowing insect to jump for escape and getting onto host
mouthparts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood

LARVAE: worm like, feed of undigested blood in feces of adults

30
Q

Pulex irritans as vector

A

plague
(agent: Yersinia pestsis), murine typhus (agent: Rickettsia typhi)
flea-borne spotted rickettsiosis (agent: Rickettsia felis).

intermediate host of Dipilidium caninum

31
Q

Pulex irritans life cycle

A

eggs–> larvae–> pupae–> adults

eggs shed by female. eggs hatch–> larva+ feed on organic debris
larvae–> pupae=cocoons
adults hatch from pupae+ seek warm- blooded host= human

32
Q

Genus Culex and genus Anopheles

A

Genus Culex = non malarial mosquito
Genus Anopheles= malaria mosquitos

only female feed on blood, male has feathery antenna

33
Q

Genus Culex and genus Anopheles morphology

egg, larvae, pupae, adults

A

4-10mm
- egg:
C= light colour, laid vertically on water surface in groups,
A= bright, laid singly, they lay horizontally on water surface
- larvae:
C=has air tube at post end, so hangs at an Angle to water surface
A=no air tubes, lay parallel to water surface
- pupae:
C= abdomen less bent
A= abdomen more bent, have short air tube in ant part
- adults:
C= no spots on wings, at rest body lies parallel to surface
A= 4-5 sports on wings, st rest body is inclined at angle of 45 to surface

34
Q

Genus Culex and genus Anopheles vector and transmitted diseases

A

Culex:
yellow fever (liver disease, yellow skin), denga, encephalitis (arboviruses), tularemia.
transmits filarial parasite

Anopheles:
transmits malarial parasite (plasmodium)
def host=Plasmodium species;

35
Q

Genus Culex and genus Anopheles life cycle

A

egg–> larva(4)–> pupae–> adult

female lays eggs on water eggs, hatch into larva which swims, feeds -shed 4 LARVAL STAGES + grows into pupae
which comes to surface to breathe. pupae–> adult emerges.

adult has eyes, antenna, palps, + mouth part/proboscis

36
Q

what is Phlebotomus papatasii known as

A

sand fly

37
Q

Phlebotomus papatasii morphology

A

Chitin hair covered body
long legs
nocturnal, black eyes, hairy body when standing hold wings above body
female is bloodsucking.

38
Q

Phlebotomus papatasii as vector

A

female carries the Leishmania protozoa transmitting the disease,
host + vector of leishmania Donovan- causes sandfly fever, kala-azar, leishmaniasis
vector of phlebovirus causing pappateci fever in human

39
Q

Phlebotomus papatasii vs mosquito

A

Phlebotomus papatasii doesn’t require aquatic enviro to complete life-cycle
females lay eggs in soil or anyplace with decaying organic matter.

40
Q

Phlebotomus papatasii life cycle

A

egg–> larva–> pupae–> adult

1) Female lays egg in damp dark places
2) eggs hatch– > larva which feed on organic matter 4 LARVAL STAGES–> Pupae found in cracks in walls then develops–> adult
