Book excerpt: The condition of the surface of the fly, especially the absence of broken appendages and the lack of abrasion (evident as loss of hairs and pruinosity) and discoloration, is usually a measure of the care in collection. [...] The eyes offemales are separated medially by the frons, which in most taxonomic literature on Tabanidae is considered to extend from the top of the head, or vertex, to the subcallus at the lower inner angle of the eye (Fig. [...] The antennae are of major importance in species identification and in the classification of the family. [...] In the case of many species of the Chrysopsinae the 23 scape and pedicel are slender and elongate, and the basal flagellomere is similarly slender (Fig. [...] The proboscis offemale Tabanidae is composed (from ventral side upward) of the labium, a pair of blade-like maxillae connected basally to a pair of 2-segmented maxillary palpi, the mandibles (another pair of thin blades that are serrated at the apex), the hypopharynx, and the labrum.

Download or read book Medical Insects and Arachnids written by R.P. Lane and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surprising though it seems, the world faces almost as great a threat today from arthropod-borne diseases as it did in the heady days of the 1950s when global eradication of such diseases by eliminating their vectors with synthetic insecticides, particularly DDT, seemed a real possibility. Malaria, for example, still causes tremendous morbidity and mortality throughout the world, especially in Africa. Knowledge of the biology of insect and arachnid disease vectors is arguably more important now than it has ever been. Biological research directed at the development of better methods of control becomes even more important in the light of the partial failure of many control schemes that are based on insecticide- although not all is gloom, since basic biological studies have contributed enormously to the outstanding success of international control programmes such as the vast Onchocerciasis Control Programme in West Africa. It is a sine qua non for proper understanding of the epidemiology and successful vector control of any human disease transmitted by an arthropod that all concerned with the problem - medical entomologist, parasitologist, field technician - have a good basic understanding of the arthropod's biology. Knowledge will be needed not only of its direct relationship to any parasite or pathogen that it transmits but also of its structure, its life history and its behaviour - in short, its natural history. Above all, it will be necessary to be sure that it is correctly identified.
