00:11.199 --> 00:13.430
My mission is to teach soldiers and

00:13.439 --> 00:16.889
sailors medical zoology . As part of

00:16.899 --> 00:20.639
their initial training um

00:20.649 --> 00:23.139
in the preventive medicine program here

00:23.149 --> 00:25.479
at the medical education and training

00:25.489 --> 00:26.219
campus ,

00:34.830 --> 00:36.639
the students are familiarizing

00:36.650 --> 00:40.580
themselves with arthropods of military

00:40.590 --> 00:44.430
importance such as ticks , mites ,

00:44.439 --> 00:48.060
mosquitoes , ants , bed bugs

00:48.520 --> 00:52.500
and cockroaches . It

00:52.509 --> 00:54.580
is important to be able to identify

00:54.590 --> 00:58.310
animals that pose a medical threat to

00:58.400 --> 01:01.919
military civilians in depends on

01:01.930 --> 01:03.779
installations and in deployed

01:03.790 --> 01:07.580
environments . Once you know what risk

01:07.589 --> 01:09.811
the medical threat poses , then you can

01:09.811 --> 01:13.459
effectively manage that risk uh

01:13.470 --> 01:16.680
with various control and

01:17.440 --> 01:20.669
protective measures . So this is a mite

01:20.839 --> 01:23.061
and well , we're looking from the venal

01:23.061 --> 01:25.228
side . But if we were looking from the

01:25.228 --> 01:27.450
dorsal side , we'd still be able to see

01:27.450 --> 01:29.728
its mouth parts are visible from above .

01:29.728 --> 01:31.672
The preventive medicine mission is

01:31.672 --> 01:33.617
important because we can serve the

01:33.617 --> 01:35.728
fighting strength of our war fighters

01:35.728 --> 01:37.839
by reducing the occurrence of disease

01:37.839 --> 01:39.370
and non battle injuries .
