What insect transmits dog heartworm?
596827
Here's a rundown....\nMosquitoes transmit the disease.\n\nMany different species of mosquitoes can carry heartworm larvae, so controlling the mosquito is not a feasible method of prevention. The life cycle of heartworm is developed in the following stages:\n\nAdult heartworms reside in the right heart, pulmonary arteries, and vena cava of the dog.\nThe heartworm larvae (microfilaria) are released into the dog's blood.\nThe mosquito ingests the larvae with the dog's blood.\nAfter 10 to 30 days, the infective larvae appear in the salivary gland of the mosquito.\nThe mosquito bites another dog, and transmits the infective larvae.\nThe larvae migrate in the dog's body for about four months before reaching the dog's heart.\nWorms mature into adults during the next two to three months.\nThe heartworm larvae appear in the dog's blood.\nHeartworm disease is caused by damage from the adult worms once they get into the blood vessels of a dog's lungs.

Pinworm's scientific name is Enterobius vermicularis, so you can google that to get some good info.  Here is a quick sheet from the CDC:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/pinworm/factsht_pinworm.htm\n\nHope that helps!

Well they are definatly one of the worst disease carrying insects on the planet. Actually the deadliest insect, or animal for that matter is the mosquito (Culicidae), which is a fly (order Diptera). House flies do have and act as the vector for several diseases, this has to do mostly with the way in which they feed. The fly mouthpart or haustelum is used for lapping up food, it has no functioning mandibles for chewing. The fly's favorite food as an adult is many forms of sugar. In order to dissolve sugar, a liquid must be added, and due to fly's limited resources, it uses its own saliva to dissolve the sugar particles. This regurgitation is how many of the common zoonotic infections are spread by this seemingly harmless insect

I think that the type of scabies that foxes carry is actually called 'sarcoptic mange'.  They can easily transmit to humans, but don't like people very much.  I could be wrong, but at least you have a direction to take in your research.\n\nHere's what one site says:\n \nSince these varieties are not well adapted to humans, they do not produce the extensive tunnels and cause the advanced lesions and scabs over the skin surface.  They just burrow in a short distance and die.   This causes inflammation and the resulting welt.\n\nHere's another site:\n\nMite infections on humans are self-limiting (ie they go away on their own) as the mite is not able to complete its life cycle on the "wrong" host. The condition is extremely itchy, though, while it lasts. The mites are most active where skin is warm (in bed and where clothing is snug).

Most arthropods: insects, lobsters, shrimp, crabs, etc. all have a tubular heart on the dorsal area just under the thorax, cephalothorax. Your vertebrates begin the two chamber linage.

Organism (insect, nematode, mite) carrying a pathogenic virus and transmitting it to a plant. 90% of vectors belong to the Homoptera, especially aphids, the Cicadellidae and the Aleyrodidae.\nThese insects can transmit viruses in 3 ways:.\n- the stylet-borne or non-persistent way, in which aphids are mere mechanical vectors transferring the virus from the sap of an infected plant to a healthy plant. Viruses cannot survive long in these vectors and their short infectious power shows itself immediately after they have caught the virus during feeding. These vectors are capable of transmitting several types of virus and, conversely, a specific virus can be transmitted by several different vectors. For example, the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae) is capable of transmitting more than 20 viruses.\n- the persistent way, in which aphids are biological vectors transmitting only 1 or 2 types of virus, which cannot be transmitted experimentally with direct injections but can be transmitted with grafts. After it has caught the virus during feeding, the insect becomes infectious only after an incubation period corresponding to the period of the multiplication and the migration (from the intestine to the haemolymph and from the haemolymph to the salivary glands) of the virus. This latent period finished, the insect retains its infectious power for a very long time. The glasshouse and potato aphid (Aulacorthum solani) is an active vector of the potato leaf roll virus (PLRV). Being polyphagous, it also transmits the cabbage mosaic virus (CMV) to various cultivated plants and the beet yellows virus (BYV) to beet. The bird-cherry aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) is the vector of several cereal virus diseases and mainly transmits barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV).\nSome viruses can be transmitted both by a biological vector and mechanicaly. The ability of a vector to transmit a virus also depends on the feeding site, the species feeding on the phloem being more efficient than those feeding on the parenchyma.\nNematodes known to be vectors of viruses are all ectophytes of the family Dorylaimidae and include , which is harmful to vine, and , which causes damage to strawberry.\n\n\n\nBase de données encyclopédique, HYPPZ regroupe 297 fiches décrivant des ravageurs (insectes, acariens, rongeurs, nématodes, gastéropodes et petits vertébrés) importants en Europe occidentale, un glossaire des termes de Zoologie (280 mots et concepts) et un tableau des cultures et des arbres fruitiers concernés (plus de 80 espèces). \nL'ensemble est illustré de photographies en couleurs (1 200 environ) et de quelque 150 dessins originaux. \n\nLa consultation se fait à partir des listes des noms scientifiques (Espèces), des noms communs (Ravageurs), des termes du Glossaire de Zoologie, des Cultures.

A fly. Whats the point, The just buzz about all day and Poop everywhere (although there poop is too small for the human eye)\nPlus!\n\nThey land on dog poo, then they fly into your house and land on all kinda things like your chopping board and dinner table! Urgh!\nTheve gotta be the worlds most useless animal!

Black Garbage Fly\nThey may become abundant in piles of poultry and dairy cattle manure. The larvae are "beneficial" by preying on other fly larvae, especially the house fly. However, excessive numbers of adults may become annoying.\n\nDomestic Flies\nDomestic flies, often called "Filth Flies," are not only a nuisance by their presence, but are important from a human and animal health standpoint. House flies may spread diseases such as conjunctivitis, poliomyelitis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, anthrax, leprosy, cholera, diarrhea and dysentery. They may serve as intermediate hosts for parasitic tapeworms on poultry or parasitic roundworms on horses. Certain larvae of blow flies, bottle flies, screwworm flies and flesh flies may feed on dead as well as living tissue of mammals, causing blood poisoning and even death, especially in sheep. Stable flies bite painfully, sucking blood from humans and animals. False stable flies do not bite, but spread certain diseases, whereas the little house fly hovers in mid air in the middle of rooms.\n\nBottle and Blow Flies\nThese flies are often attracted to dead animals, animal wounds, and feces-caked hair or wool on pets and farm animals. Larvae are commonly found in garbage wastes and pet droppings.\n\nFlesh Fly\nFemales deposit living maggots rather than eggs in decaying flesh of dead animals and excrement, especially dog stools.\n\n\nDrone Fly or Syrphid Fly\nLarvae, known as "Rattailed Maggots," develop in polluted water. \n\nStable Fly\nAdults resemble house flies except for the slender, pointed, sharp beak used to pierce skin and suck blood. Bites are painful. These flies may transmit anthrax and possibly infantile paralysis, leprosy, surra and swamp fever. Normally an outdoor fly, it attacks any warmblooded animal from rats to humans. \n\nFalse Stable Fly\nAdults can transmit filth-related diseases.\n\nLittle House Fly\nFemales lay eggs in semiliquid organic matter such as animal and human excrement.

Lice and pin worms are the most common but they can also get round worms and hook worms if they are playing where an animal has deficated and putting thier hands in their mouths.

"The Lyme disease bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, normally lives in mice, squirrels and other small animals. It is transmitted among these animals – and to humans -- through the bites of certain species of ticks.    \nIn the northeastern and north-central United States, the blacklegged tick (or deer tick, Ixodes scapularis) transmits Lyme disease. In the Pacific coastal United States, the disease is spread by the western blacklegged tick (Ixodes pacificus). Other tick species found in the United States have not been shown to transmit Borrelia burgdorferi. Blacklegged ticks live for two years and have three feeding stages: larvae, nymph, and adult. When a young tick feeds on an infected animal, the tick takes the bacterium into its body along with the blood meal. \nThe bacterium then lives in the gut of the tick. If the tick feeds again, it can transmit the bacterium to its new host. Usually the new host is another small rodent, but sometimes the new host is a human. \nMost cases of human illness occur in the late spring and summer when the tiny nymphs are most active and human outdoor activity is greatest."

yes, ringworm, which is very disgusting, and a rare disease called toxicara which is carried by both cats and dogs. my son was infected at age 4 with toxicara which resulted in blindness in one eye, after undergoing surgery.

omg- this is such a complex thing. i just took a parasite class and we talked about nothing but worms and amoebas. worms normally enter through digestion and then burrow their heads between villi. then it grows and matures and deposits eggs through feces. some worms use proglottids, some drop eggs directly into intestines. the eggs are then released out of the anus and ready for another host or vector. some worms end up going though the lamina propria in intestines and getting into hepatic duct and getting into the blood stream. worms can then get into the heart or even encyst in muscle and crippling the muscle if enough get in there. the trichino worm gets into arm muscles and enough render the arm useless.
