| bites | Penetration of the skin (puncture or laceration) causing reactions that result from 1) mechanical injury; 2) injection of toxic material such as snake or scorpion venom; 3) injection of antigenic substance, especially by insect or arthropod bites, capable of inducing and eliciting allergic sensitization; 4) introduction of otherwise saprophytic flora such as Staphylococcus pyogenes in the instance of human bites; 5) invasion of the tissue as in myiasis; 6) transmission of disease such as typhus and rabies. Depending on the nature of the material propelled into the puncture of the skin and, in the case of antigenic material, on the previous exposure and immunity of the host, the local reaction will be immediate or delayed, accompanied by varying degrees of pain, itching and burning, and systemic manifestations specific for the offending agent. Origin: see bite (05 Mar 2000) |

| bites, human | Bites inflicted by humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| snake bites | Bites by snakes. The condition of having been bitten by a venomous snake, characterised by stinging pain at the wound puncture. The venom injected at the site of the bite is capable of producing a deleterious effect on the blood or on the nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, insect | The hereditary material of insects. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, structural, insect | DNA sequences that code for RNA and for proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of insect cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sterile insect technique | A technique used to control or eradicate insect pests or vectors, utilizing induction by irradiation of dominant lethality in the chromosomes of the released insects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stings, insect | Stings from large stinging insects such as yellow jackets, bees, hornets and wasps can trigger allergic reactions varying greatly in severity. Avoidance and prompt treatment are essential. In selected cases, allergy injection therapy is highly effective. (the three a's of insect allergy are adrenaline, avoidance and allergist.)

| insect | 1. <zoology> One of the Insecta; especially, one of the Hexapoda. See Insecta. The hexapod insects pass through three stages during their growth, viz, the larva, pupa, and imago or adult, but in some of the orders the larva differs little from the imago, except in lacking wings, and the active pupa is very much like the larva, except in having rudiments of wings. In the higher orders, the larva is usually a grub, maggot, or caterpillar, totally unlike the adult, while the pupa is very different from both larva and imago and is inactive, taking no food. 2. <zoology> Any air-breathing arthropod, as a spider or scorpion. 3. <zoology> Any small crustacean. In a wider sense, the word is often loosely applied to various small invertebrates. 4. Any small, trivial, or contemptible person or thing. Insect powder,a powder used for the extermination of insects; especially, the powdered flowers of certain species of Pyrethrum, a genus now merged in Chrysanthemum. Synonym: Persian powder. Origin: F.insecte, L. Insectum, fr. Insectus, p.p. Of insecare to cut in. See Section. The name was originally given to certain small animals, whose bodies appear cut in, or almost divided. Cf. Entomology. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| insect control | The reduction or regulation of the population of noxious, destructive, or dangerous insects through chemical, biological, or other means. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insect defensins | <biochemistry> Family of small (30-35 residue) cysteine rich cationic proteins found in vertebrate phagocytes (notably the azurophil granules of neutrophils) and active against bacteria, fungi and enveloped viruses. May constitute up to 5% of the total protein. Insect defensins have some sequence homology with the vertebrate forms. (18 Nov 1997) |

| insect proteins | Proteins found in any species of insect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insect repellents | Substances causing insects to turn away from them or reject them as food. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insect stings | Stings from large stinging insects such as bees, hornets, yellow jackets and wasps can trigger allergic reactions varying greatly in severity.
