工 Concepts Arthropod species,about a few hundred million,accounting for dynamic 87%of the total number of material types,hazard to human health is only a tiny minority. Medical arthropods(mainly medical insects)refer to those arthropods with medical importance; Parasitic arthropods are those being able to either directly impair to human health by their toxic substances or indirectly harm through spread of pathogens
❑ Arthropod species , about a few hundred million, accounting for dynamic 87% of the total number of material types, hazard to human health is only a tiny minority. ❑ Medical arthropods (mainly medical insects) refer to those arthropods with medical importance; ❑ Parasitic arthropods are those being able to either directly impair to human health by their toxic substances or indirectly harm through spread of pathogens. I Concepts
工 Concepts Medical arthropodology or Medical entomology is to research on: morphological characters,classification,life cycle, ecology,geographical distribution,pathogenesis, regularity of disease transmission and control strategies of medical pests
