Insect sting allergy Insect sting allergy Insect sting allergy is the term commonly given to the allergic response of an animal in response to the bite or sting of an insect. Typically, insects which generate allergic responses are either stinging insects (wasps, bees, hornets and ants) or biting insects (mosquitoes, ticks). Stinging insects inject venom into their victims, whilst biting insects normally introduce anti-coagulants into their victims. The great majority of insect allergic animals just have a simple allergic response – a reaction local to the sting site which appears as just a swelling arising from the release of histamine and other chemicals
Insect diuretic hormones The complex is only present in lepidopteran larvae and some beetle species. Little is known about the hormonal control of fluid uptake by the cryptonephric complex, which is certain to play an important role in the species in which it occurs. First three letters of genus added to first two letters of the species name. For example, a 37-residue diuretic peptide from Tenebrio molitor will be named Tenmo-DH37. Insect diuretic hormones Insect diuretic hormones are hormones that regulate water balance through diuretic action. The insect excretory system, responsible for regulating water balance in the insect, comprises the Malpighian tubules and
