Why do insects bite? A review of blood sucking behaviour.
Introduction There is considerable variation in the extent of the association between a blood sucking insect and its host. Blood sucking Diptera such as mosquitoes are temporary ectoparasites, only visiting the host for long enough to obtain a blood meal. Temporary ectoparasites such as tsetse flies, tabanids and mosquitoes tend to take relatively large blood meals, thus limiting the danger fro...

Extensive surveillance in bat populations in response to recent emerging diseases has revealed that this group of mammals acts as a reservoir for a large range of viruses. However, the oldest known association between a zoonotic virus and a bat is that between rabies virus and the vampire bat. Vampire bats are only found in Latin America and their unique method of obtaining nutrition, blood-fee...
متن کاملEcology and taxonomy of pathogenic aspergilli.

متن کاملTicks as vectors: taxonomy, biology and ecology.
Ticks are prominent parasites and competent vectors of pathogens that affect both humans and animals. This review outlines and illustrates the main features of the morphology of ticks of the families Ixodidae and Argasidae, and summarises the basic components of their life cycles. It focuses mainly on development processes and mortality among tick populations so as to provide an overview of how...
