Topics Covered
- Arthropod significance, characteristics, classification and identification
- Direct (e.g. blood-feeding) and indirect encounters between humans, animals and arthropods
- Arthropods can be direct causes of pathology (e.g. stinging), facilitators of secondary infection and mechanical or biological vectors (transmitters) of pathogens
- Mosquito blood-feeding and pathogen transmission provides a useful example of biological transmission
