(20) Correlation analyses between the number of female copepods and fungal infection rates in sentinel mosquitoes were significant (P < 0.01) for Acanthocyclops robustus but insignificant for eight other species.
Crustacean
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Crustacea; crustaceous.
(n.) An animal belonging to the class Crustacea.
Example Sentences:
