COMPREHENSIVE Q&A WITH FULL
CORRECT ANSWERS
⩥ agent. Answer: a living organism causing disease in an arthropod-
vectored disease cycles
⩥ augmentation biological control. Answer: biocontrol reliant on
releasing large numbers of biological control agents to suppress a pest
population. Using biocontrol agents as "living insecticides"
⩥ bacillus thuriengensis. Answer: soil microbe found virtually world-
wide which produces crystalline proteins toxic to various insects. Widely
used as a microbial insectices, and also a source of genes for transgenic
crop plants
⩥ biological control. Answer: using living organisms to reduce pest
populations
⩥ bubo. Answer: characteristic; gross swelling of lymph nodes
associated with plague infection
⩥ cattle grub. Answer: dipteran pests tha develop under the skin of
cattle, damaging leather and causing scar tissue to meat
, ⩥ chloroquine. Answer: synthetic anti-malarial drug
⩥ commercial agriculture. Answer: agriculture in which farmers produce
crop primarily for sale to others
⩥ conservation biological control. Answer: controlling pest insects by
protecting the biological control agents already present
⩥ cultural control. Answer: pest management which relies on modifying
something we would do any way to help reduce pest populations. In
agriculture, could include modifying planting or harvest dates, tillage
changes, crop rotation, etc. In other circumstances, sanitation is an
important cultural control strategy.
⩥ cultural entomology. Answer: the study of the impact of insects on
human culture and society
⩥ cuticle poison. Answer: an insecticide which compromises the
integrity of the insect exoskeleton, either through abrasion (dusts),
interfering with epicuticular waxes (soaps), or interfering with the
insect's ability to synthesize chitin. Generally very safe for non-target
organisms.
