Resumen

Los coleópteros representan alrededor del 40% de los taxa de insectos, siendo por lo tanto el orden más numeroso con más de 300 familias y 360.000-400.000 especies descritas y 1.100.000 estimadas. Su importancia para el ser humano se ha enfocado principalmente como insectos-plaga a nivel agropecuario, forestal y económico. Por ello, se presentan comentarios acerca de la relevancia en medicina de los insectos que forman el orden Coleoptera.

Palabras clave: Escarabajos, salud pública.

Abstract

Beetles constitute almost 40% of described insect taxa, thus being the most numerous order with more than 300 families, 360,000-400,000 described species and 1,100,000 estimated. Their importance for the human being has been mainly focused as insects-pest at agricultural, forestry and economic level. Thus, comments are presented about the relevance in Medicine of insects that form the order Coleoptera.

Key words: Beetles, public health.
