Fleas by jalees mirza
Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They have mouthparts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood. Fleas go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Common flea species include the cat flea, dog flea, human flea, and various rat fleas.
Flea lecture
Fleas are laterally compressed insects with powerful hind legs adapted for jumping. Males have longer antennae than females, which they use to grasp females during mating. Fleas have a hardened exoskeleton and spined combs on their legs and bodies. Their life cycle involves eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Larvae feed on organic debris while adults are parasitic, feeding on host blood. Fleas can transmit diseases like plague, murine typhus, tularemia, and tapeworms between hosts.

Ticks (Soft and Hard)
Ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites that can transmit various pathogens and cause economic losses. There are two main types: hard ticks and soft ticks. Hard ticks have a dorsal shield and visible mouthparts, while soft ticks do not. Ticks go through egg, larva, nymph, and adult stages, and can have one or multiple hosts during their life cycle depending on the species. Both types feed on mammals, birds, and sometimes other animals, and can transmit bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that cause diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Control methods include personal protection, acaricides, biological controls, and vaccination of host animals.
Tick and Disease caused by them.
Ticks are arachnids that are ectoparasites and vectors of disease. There are two main families of ticks - Ixodidae, or hard ticks, which have a dorsal shield and feed for days, and Argasidae, or soft ticks, which lack a dorsal shield and feed intermittently and rapidly.

Brachycera by maham
The document summarizes key details about the order Brachycera, which includes horse flies and deer flies. Some main points are:
- Brachycera has over 120 families and includes flies like horse flies, deer flies, and green lacewings.
- Adults have reduced antennae and larvae have extensions of their head capsules into their prothorax.
- Horse flies and deer flies range widely in size and coloration. Females require blood meals while males do not feed.
- Their lifecycles include egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Larvae can develop for 1-2 years in aquatic or terrestrial environments before pupating.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Nucleic Acid-its structural and functional complexity.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Fleas.pptx
- 1. FLEAS BY: Asma Qureshi Laraib Naeem Muqadas Fazal Urwa Iftikhar
- 5. Morphology • Body is Laterally compressed. • The first segment on each leg (the coxa) is large and provides incredible power for jumping. • Lateral compression allows ease of movement through the hairs on the host. • A flea’s head is broadly joined to its thorax and often bears a genal ctenidium • Ctenidia backwardly directed body setae are adaptations that help flea retain itself among the fur or feathers of its host. • Eyes are simple and have only a single, small lens. • The legs are strong; hind legs are commonly much larger than are the other two pairs and are modified for jumping
- 6. The females are larger than males of the same species.
- 7. Life Cycle During their life cycles, fleas pass through a Complete Metamorphosis from Egg to Larva to Pupa to Adult.
- 8. 1. Eggs are large, smooth and oval and translucent. 2. In 2-10 days the eggs hatch into eyeless, legless active larvae: the heads are strongly sclerotized. 3. Under favorable conditions, the larvae may reach their 3rd stage in about 2 weeks, but development may be delayed for 6 months or more. 4. Larvae feed on organic debris in the host's nest, in crevices on the floor or under rugs: larvae of bird fleas thrive on broken-down sheaths of feathers on the epidermal scales of young birds. 5. Most fleas have 3 larval stages; each 3rd instar larva spins a cocoon within which it pupates. 6. Pupae may live for a week up to a year depending on the species and the environmental conditions related to temperature and moisture. 7. The fully formed adult may lie quiescent for an indefinite period of time before its becomes active and attempt to infect a host.
- 9. Important species of fleas
- 11. Types of Fleas
- 12. Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides Felis) • Cat fleas can still be found anywhere around the world as long as there are cats around. • Cat fleas are very small (about 1-3 mm in size) • they have a distinct brownish color • type is pretty weak to most flea control methods, but it also has a fast reproductive rate • Eggs fall out from domestic animals furs and into furniture, carpets, and similar surfaces, after which the eggs hatch into larvae. • Cycle Duration: 2 weeks – 8 months.
- 13. Dog Fleas (Ctenocephalides Canis) • Almost all characteristics of a cat flea, but you can discern the differences just by looking at them. • For example, dog fleas have a rounder head shape than cat fleas. • Can grow 5mm long • a dog flea can live in dogs’ furs or other furry wild animals • Cycle Duration: 2 – 4 weeks.
- 14. Human Fleas (Pulex Irritans) • As the name suggests, human fleas live by sucking blood from a human host, and they’re very similar in appearance to cat fleas and dog fleas • but they can grow up to 4mm long • a female flea can lay up to 400 eggs throughout one year. • Cycle Duration: 4 weeks – 1 year.
- 16. Chigoe Fleas (Tunga Penetrans) generally live in soil and sandy areas Appearance They have a brownish color and are very small (1 mm in size), making them the smallest flea species known. Location and Life Cycle • the adult female fleas pierce the epidermis to get human blood. • As long as it gets blood and remains inside the skin, the female flea will expel over 100 eggs just in two weeks. • As eggs fall to the ground, they’ll enter their natural life cycle and develop into adult fleas to look for a host animal. Cycle Duration: Less than 3 weeks.
- 17. Stick tight Fleas • also referred to as bird fleas • pierce the skin of the chicken head in a similar fashion to chigoe fleas. • Infesting other animals, such as foxes, squirrels, cats, and dogs. • Cycle Duration: 4 weeks.
- 18. Oriental Rat Flea (Xenopsylla Cheopis) • oriental rat fleas are very hard to eliminate. • Like most common pests that infest outdoor properties, these fleas are carried by rats, mice, rabbits, and other rodents. On occasion, oriental rat fleas can bite humans through infested rats,
- 19. Rabbit flea, or Silopsyllus cuniculi • could be found in clusters around a wild rabbit’s ear, especially a female rabbit in late pregnancy. Moreover, a female rabbit’s reproductive hormones affect rabbit these fleas’ survival.
- 20. Harmful effects of fleas
- 21. flea allergy dermatitis Flea allergy dermatitis
- 23. Turg Tungiasis
- 25. Fleas as plaque vector
- 27. Control 1.Treatment of Animals: • Thoroughly bathe pets with soap and water, • then comb them with a flea comb. • Pay careful attention to face and neck regions, and the area in front of the tail. • Soap will act as a gentle insecticide to kill adult fleas. • Talk to your veterinarian about choosing the right flea control product for your pet.
- 29. • Limit the amount of time your pet spends outdoors. • Limit contact with wild and stray animals. • Bathe and brush pets regularly. • Check for fleas regularly. • Fleas prefer warmer and more humid months, but if there is an animal to feed on, fleas can survive year-round.
