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.

+
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.
