21 April Public Health Educ, Entomology

U. S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Public Health Education Division students, Capt. Ryan Joerres (right, front), 1st Lt. Lara Esin (right, back), Capt. Michele Balihe (left, front), and Capt. Caroline Brooks (left, back), view medically significant insects inside the entomology lab at the 88th Aerospace Medicine Squadron, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, April 21, 2017. The 88th AMDS students study the mechanical vectors of insects to better understand how some passively transmit pathogens that cause disease. (U.S. Air Force photo by Michelle Gigante/released)

U.S. Air Force Capt. Ryan Joerres, United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Public Health Education Division student, views through the microscope an American Cockroach to study the mechanical vectors in regard to disease prevention inside the entomology lab at the 88th Aerospace Medicine Squadron, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, April 21, 2017. In a deployed environment, an Airman will be able to recognize medically significant insects with disease vectors that pose a risk. (U.S. Air Force photo by Michelle Gigante/released)

A microscope inside the entomology lab at the 88th Aerospace Medicine Squadron stations a medically significant fly of the family Diptera at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, April 21, 2017. The 88th AMDS students study the mechanical vectors of insects of military importance and the major diseases they transmit. (U.S. Air Force photo by Michelle Gigante/released)
