CONTACT INFORMATION
Carl Schaefer, TLS 377; 486-4455 (lab.), 423-9427 (home---emergencies or bribes only); e-mail carl.schaefer@uconn.edu. Office hours: after lectures, or by appointment.
TA: Roberta Engel BioPharm 318; 486-6215 (office); e-mail engellaoshi@yahoo.com. Office hours: Wed. 2-3, or by appointment.
Grading: lecture: 200 points; lab: 100 points Lecture: midterm=70 points; final (cumulative)=130 points (equals 200 points) Laboratory: the laboratory work (100 points) may involve some quizzes, and other work
Note on reading: The text is the latest edition of Service’s “Medical Entomology.” The chapter listings on the schedule are from the first edition, and may differ in your schedule But I know you can work it out.
W students: I will give you a separate schedule for the W sessions. You most realize that your credit, based on your writing, will be 25% of your grade; but that you must pass the W to get any credit in the entire course. If you are a W students and fail the W, you’ll get an F in the course. This has never happened in the past, and before I retire it had better not happen in the future.

RECENT HANDOUTS
MYIASIS
Two classifications
I.
A. accidental—eggs accidentally eaten; larvae hatch and may develop in gut
-housefly, Drosophila (common fruit fly), various others
-quite common in humans, others; usually no problems
B. facultative—maggots also can develop in carrion, sometimes in feces, or in
wounds
--three kinds
1. primary—female causes the wound, or is attracted to
very small wounds (slight cut, etc.); can also use carrion, feces
2. secondary—once entry established by something else
(something else causes a cut), eggs laid
3. tertiary—only at late stages, when vertebrate host nearly
dead
C. obligatory—maggots must develop in living host
three kinds, as above
II. Where in host
A. dermal or subdermal
B. enteric (in gut)
C. nasopharyngeal (in nose, sinuses)
D. and so on.
