Classification
The phylum arthropoda is divided into several subphylums including Chelicerata (which includes the arachnids), Myriapoda, Hexapoda (which includes the insecta), Crustacea and Trilobitomorpha. These are then divided into many classes. The two of major veterinary importance are the insecta and arachnida classes.

Lice
Nuisance flies
Biting Flies
Myiasis Flies
- Oestrus ovis causes infection in nasal cavity
- Hypoderma bovis in myositis
- Cause skin infections, Simuliidae and Ceratopogonidae transmit onchocerciasis, flies involved in cutaneous habronemiasis and stephanofilariasis, protozoal skin infections
- Flea bite hypersensitivity
- Culicoides hypersensitivity
