A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Animal phyla containing pests

Animal phyla that harbour pest species are the main focus of pest control strategies in medical and health sciences. Mastering the characteristics of Arthropoda, Nematoda, Mollusca and Annelida—how they develop, reproduce and interact with hosts—helps students predict pest outbreaks and select appropriate control measures.
