Medical entomology is a science, which deals with the study of arthropods. Members of the phylum arthropoda are the most numerous and widely distributed of all animal groups. Their medical importance lies in their ability to cause morbidity and mortality, and their extensive distribution over the face of the earth. They may be found in every part of the world and in every type of environment. Many, particularly those within the class insecta and arachnida, live in close association with humans; others while primarily parasites of animals, will readily attack or feed upon humans and some may specifically adapt as human parasites.
