Question

Write true or false. Bed bug is an example of endoparasitic nutrition.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Statement is False because Bed bug is an ectoparasite.

• Bed bugs(Cimex lectularius)are ectoparasites that feed on human blood (external parasites)
• Bed bugs are temporary ectoparasites, which means they don't live on their hosts and just come in to feed, unlike lice or other permanent ectoparasites.
• Bed bugs are also known as obligatory parasites because they require a blood meal to complete each stage of their five-stage life cycle.
• Bed bugs are nocturnal in nature, feeding at night and hiding during the day. The bugs' feeding schedule will shift if their host's sleeping patterns change.
• Bed bugs mate using traumatic insemination, in which males use a modified reproductive organ to pierce the female's cuticle and transport sperm into her haemolymph.
• Sexual conflict, which involves sexually transmitted microorganisms and selects for immunological networks that may affect bed bug–pathogen relationships, has a substantial influence on this form of reproduction.
• Bed bugs tend to be immune to the impacts of repeated rounds of inbreeding, which is thought to result in the fixation of favourable gene complexes and the elimination of detrimental alleles that may increase local adaption, such as pesticide resistance.
