Host-parasite interactions and the feeding of blood-sucking arthropods
The range of interactions between blood-sucking arthropods and their hosts is enormous and their importance to man would be difficult to overestimate. From the tundra to the tropics man, and animals in which he has a vital nutritional or economic interest, represent to the blood-sucking arthropod a...

The range of interactions between blood-sucking arthropods and their hosts is enormous and their importance to man would be difficult to overestimate. From the tundra to the tropics man, and animals in which he has a vital nutritional or economic interest, represent to the blood-sucking arthropod a source of animal protein. By their activities in obtaining a blood meal the host may be subjected to minimal inconvenience, acute irritation, or suffer severely from blood loss or from the effects of toxins introduced during feeding. Superimposed upon these situations is an enormous variety of disease agents which may be transmitted to the host by the parasite during or after feeding. |
