  • Medical Entomology
    The study of insects and arachnids that either cause direct injury to humans or live stock or are vectors of diseases or pathogens that cause injury or death.
  • How Medical Entomology
    Principally on the biology, ecology, and systematics of the arthropods and not the diseases or parasites themselves.
  • Entomology is multidisciplinary because it needs;
    Many different fields of biology (i.e., insect biology, insect ecology, insect population genetics, insect systematics,
  • How Insects and Arachnids are Medically Important
    Nuisances: (e.g., House Flies, Cockroaches, Bed bugs)
  • How Insects and Arachnids are Medically Important
    Toxins, Venoms: (Insects & Arachnids) & Allergens-(e.g., Bees, Wasps, Blister Beetles, Bombardier Beetles, Spiders, & Scorpions)
  • How Insects and Arachnids are Medically Important:
    Insects that cause Myiasis –Development of the larval stage is in living flesh (e.g., Flesh flies Sarcophagidae) or Blow Flies (Calliphoridae)
  • How Insects and Arachnids are Medically Important:
    Vectors – Insects and arachnids that either by simple physical contact or biological transfer during feeding transmit pathogens. There are many species of flies, some hemipterans, lice, and fleas.
  • How Insects and Arachnids are Medically Important: Insect Nuisances
    They come in contact with disease causing bacteria that is incidentally left where humans can encounter it
  • What can house flies do when humans get in contact with them?
    transmit Typhoid Fever; Cholera; Amoebic Dysentry; Tuberculosis; Anthrax; and various parasitic nematodes.
  • How Insects and Arachnids are Medically Important: Venoms
    toxic effects of a venom that is injected as part of a biting defensive response or stinging defensive response or simply a chemical release as a defensive response.
  • Which insect arachnids produce venoms that are helpful in dermatology to treat some types of warts.
    Produced by members of the beetle families Meloidae and Cantharidae
