The holometabolous insects consist of four major orders: Diptera (flies), Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), Coleoptera (beetles), and Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants) ( Figure 3).

The holo- and hemimetabolous insects have a common evolutionary origin, which lies about 340 million years back in time ( Figure 3). Most insects belong to one of two evolutionary lineages: Holometabola (insects with a complete metamorphosis during development: larvae, pupae, adults) and Hemimetabola (insects with an incomplete metamorphosis: the early developmental stages, also called nymphae, resemble the adults). Reproduced from Hauser F, Cazzamali G, Williamson M, Blenau W, and Grimmelikhuijzen CJP (2006) A review of neurohormone GPCRs present in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster and the honey bee Apis mellifera. The tree is rooted by the Drosophila metabotropic glutamate receptor, CG11144. The honey bee receptors are numbered Am 53–56. Phylogenetic tree analysis of the Drosophila and honey bee neuropeptide and protein hormone GPCRs belonging to family-B. Ligand identification occurs after heterologous expression of the GPCR cDNA in cells in cell culture or in frog oocytes and the measurement of second messengers or second-messenger-mediated responses after addition of potential ligands.įigure 6. Of course, after the initial predictions (annotations), the identity of the predicted GPCR has to be experimentally confirmed (by cloning) and the cloned GCPR has to be deorphanized (its ligand to be identified). This is because gene-finding computer programs can detect most genes in a sequenced genome, and the characteristic GPCR topology ( Figure 2) makes it possible to identify some of these genes as coding for neurohormone GPCRs. The presence of these sequenced insect genomes has greatly facilitated the identification of insect neurohormone GPCRs. Adapted from Grimmelikhuijzen CJP, Cazzamali G, Williamson M, and Hauser F (2007) The promise of insect genomics. Insects for which the genome sequencing is in progress are highlighted in blue. Insects for which the genome sequencing has been completed (at least 8–9 times coverage) are highlighted in green. The evolutionary relationships of insects with a fully sequenced genome and those for which a whole genome-sequencing project is in progress. Often, when an ectoparasite medication is given to a dog, some other control measures are also required in the dog’s environment to eliminate the insect population efficiently.įigure 3. Insects also play a role in parasitology as vectors of some parasite infections. They may be partly allergic reaction due to long-term or repeated exposure, flea allergy dermatitis being the most commonly known reaction. Ectoparasitic insects cause dermatological problems to dogs. The adult develops from the nymph stage, bypassing the cocoon stage. Their eggs hatch as nymphs that resemble the adults, but are smaller and incapable of reproduction. Sucking and chewing lice have an incomplete metamorphosis. Their life cycle consists of egg, larva, cocoon, and the adult stage. Complete metamorphosis is typical to fleas, for instance. Insects have either a complete (holometabolic) or an incomplete (hemimetabolic) metamorphosis. The insect has a pair of antennae and many have wings.

Three pairs of jointed legs are attached to the thorax. The insect body has three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. Some insect parasites spend their whole life cycle on the host, while some are facultative parasites. Sven Nikander DVM, PhD, in Canine Parasites and Parasitic Diseases, 2019 Abstract
