Arthropods whichtransmit pathogens
1. Mechanical transmission
Arthropods carry pathogens from one person to the next without development or multiplication of pathogens.
2. Biological transmission
Pathogens develop or multiply within arthropods, only transmitted to vertebrate hosts.

Ecology
Hard ticks: suck in day feed on the host for a few days resting sites: forest, woods, grassland, pasturage
Soft ticks:
suck at night feed on the host from minutes to one hourresting sites: locate at the host’s nests and hovel.

The hypersensitivity
may result from the

occur, probably as a
result of scratching.

Bloodsucking habit
Both male and female mosquitoes take nectar
as source of energy.
Only females take blood after mating for
production of eggs.

Resting habit
After having a blood meal, the female
mosquito find a place for resting.
Endophilic type: rest inside house for blood
digestion and maturation of the ovaries.
Half Endophilic type : rest inside house for a
while, then fly to outdoor.
Exophilic type : feed and rest outside.

Activity
Anopheles : act in the evenings, at night or in
the early morning.
Culex : feed at night.
Aedes : feed during the day or early evening.

Overwinter (Hibernation)
No activity and no eating until next spring.
The most common stage of hibernation is adult.
Aedes : eggs.
Anopheles minimus : larvae.
In sub-tropic and tropic areas, the average month
temperature is over 10 . So no hibernation.℃

Short legs and big abdomen, the whole body bear hairs; Lapping mouthparts.
