This is a glossary of terms used in the description of arthropod cuticle, including that of insects such as ants.For reasons still under investigation, [1] these animals can have surface textures spanning and combining cracks, excavations, imbrications, mealiness, punctures, reticulations, roughness, scratches, spots, wrinkles, and more (generically, 'sculpturing' or 'microsculpture').
In humans, goose bumps can even extend to piloerection as a reaction to hearing nails scratch on a chalkboard, or feeling or remembering strong and positive emotions (e.g., after winning a sports event), or while watching a horror film. [14] Goose bumps in a kitten, due to a fear of heights
Thus their close human contact often results in their infection. They are known to deposit their larvae in the wounds and scratches on skin in humans. [6] As such their larvae have been reported to cause oral and nasal myiasis. [3] In 1987 a clinical case of first human intestinal myasis was reported from a Japanese patient.
Cat-scratch disease has a worldwide distribution, but it is a nonreportable disease in humans, so public health data on this disease are inadequate. [22] Geographical location, present season, and variables associated with cats (such as exposure and degree of flea infestation ) all play a factor in the prevalence of CSD within a population.

Humans can become infected by inhaling aerosols that contain rodent saliva, urine, or feces, as well as through bites and scratches. In humans, infection is usually asymptomatic but can lead to a mild form of HFRS often called nephropathia epidemica (NE).
Humans can become infected by inhaling aerosols that contain rodent saliva, urine, or feces, as well as through bites and scratches. In humans, infection leads to HPS, an illness characterized by an early phase of mild and moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, and fatigue, followed by sudden respiratory failure.
Bartonella henselae, formerly Rochalimæa henselae, is a bacterium that is the causative agent of cat-scratch disease [1] (bartonellosis). Bartonella henselae is a member of the genus Bartonella, one of the most common types of bacteria in the world. [specify] It is a facultative intracellular microbe that targets red blood cells.
Humans can become infected by inhaling aerosols that contain rodent saliva, urine, or feces, as well as through bites and scratches. In humans, infection causes such as fever and headache, as well as the appearance of spots on the skin, hepatitis, and renal symptoms such as kidney swelling, excess protein in urine, blood in urine, decreased ...
