EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the intricate details of Tunga penetrans, also known as the chigoe flea or jigger, a notorious sand flea found predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions. The flea is depicted in its magnified form, revealing its hexapod structure and distinct siphonapteran features. The flea's elongated legs and claws are adapted for burrowing into the sand or sediment, allowing it to anchor itself and wait for unsuspecting hosts to pass by. The chigoe flea is an obligate ectoparasite, meaning it requires a living host to survive. Once the flea bites and attaches itself to the host's skin, it forms a painful and often itchy blister, which can cause significant discomfort and even lead to secondary infections. The flea remains embedded in the skin for several days, feeding on the host's blood. Despite their small size, these arthropods cause significant harm to both humans and animals, leading to infestations that can affect large populations. The fleas are most active during the daytime, making them a common nuisance during outdoor activities. The Hexopod order, to which Tunga penetrans belongs, is a diverse group of animals, with over 10,000 described species. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex world of these often overlooked invertebrates.
