RM2BE0J3K–Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology displayed on the rostral head region of a bedbug, Cimex lectularius. Note the proximal anatomical relationships the insect's skin piercing mouthparts it uses to obtain its blood meal, and how they join the head. Although bedbugs have been found naturally-infected with blood-borne pathogens, they are not effective vectors of disease. The primary medical importance is inflammation associated with their bites (due to allergic reactions to components in their saliva).

RF2H2H603–The sun bear [AKA Malayan Bear] (Helarctos malayanus) is a species in the family Ursidae occurring in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is the smallest bear, standing nearly 70 centimetres (28 inches) at the shoulder and weighing 25–65 kilograms (55–143 pounds). It is stockily built, with large paws, strongly curved claws, small rounded ears and a short snout. The fur is generally jet-black, but can vary from grey to red. Sun bears get their name from the characteristic orange to cream coloured chest patch. Its unique morphology—inward-turned front feet, flattened chest, powerful fore

RM2BE0J3B–Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology displayed on the ventral surface of a bedbug, Cimex lectularius. From this view, at the top, you can see the insect's skin piercing mouthparts it uses to obtain its blood meal, as well as a number of its disarticulated six jointed legs. You'll also notice a beautiful diaphanous structure at the bottom of the image. It is speculated that this wondrous ultrastructural organ is most probably a scent gland, or related to the dissemination of scent, which may be pheromonal in nature. A further dissection of this, and

RM2BE0J7Y–SEM showing the ultrastructural morphologic surface features of the head, and thoracic regions of an Anopheles gambiae mosquito. Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, only 30-40 transmit malaria in nature. An organism that transmits a disease to another organism is known as a vector. Note the compound eye, composed of numerous ommatidia, which are the small subunits that act in concert with one another to provide a comprehensive mosaic image to the organism of its surroundings. Like all mosquitoes, adult anophelines hav
RFPA6GCA–Onchocerca volvulus parasitic worm, computer illustration. O. volvulus is the causative agent of onchocerciasis or river blindness (Onchocerca worm infestation). An infestation begins when a host is bitten by a black fly (Simulium sp.) carrying the worm larvae. Illustration shows diagnostic morphological features of O. volvulus, there is no sheath and no nuclei in the tip of the tail.
