Answer:

They are intermediate hosts.

Explanation:

Disease-transmitting insects are called vectors.

The life cycle of disease-causing pathogens is closely linked to the biology of the insect that carries it.

 The symptoms of gongylonemiasis include  hemorrhagic inflammation  at the site the pathogen invades,  followed by  granulomatous tissue development that  produces nodules in the invaded organ.

Some diseases transmitted by insects occur in both humans and other mammals because our differences in anatomy and physiology are not very different.

It is unlikely that clinical symptoms will occur in humans if the insect were the definitive host, because our biology is quite different from their biology, and the pathogen would be adapted to fulfill its entire life cycle in their body.

Why are scorpions florescent to black light? How might it help them survive?
givi [52]

Answer:

Well, something in the scorpions' exoskeleton causes them to glow. The fluorescence makes their bodies more sensitive to light, so it's easier to find a shady hiding spot to survive in.

If you wanted to know if a particular mountain was formed by movement along a fault, what would you look for
EleoNora [17]
If the mountain was in the Front Ranges of the Rockies, I would look for a thrust fault underlying the mountain since thrusting is a low angle fault which juxtaposes older rocks on top of younger and thickens up the stratigraphic sequence. Also, mountains can form from normal faults whereby the hangingwall of the fault  or the side of the fault which is towards the inclination of the fault drops down relative to the footwall (the side under the fault) so I would also look for a normal fault bounding a cliff face of the mountain.,
