Acanthamoeba is a free-living ameba, a kind of one-celled organism that lives in water, soil, and dust. (CDC. 2025. Acanthamoeba Infections https://www.cdc.gov/acanthamoeba/about/index.html)

Acarapiosis is caused by a microscopic mite, Acarapis woodi, called the tracheal mite, an internal parasite of the respiratory system of adult bees that feeds on hemolymph. The mortality rate varies, but a heavy infestation causes high mortality. They spread to bees by direct contact, and newly hatched adults are most susceptible.

CAS No. 50-78-2. An orally administered non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent. Acetylsalicylic acid binds to and acetylates serine residues in cyclooxygenases, resulting in decreased synthesis of prostaglandin, platelet aggregation, and inflammation. This agent exhibits analgesic, antipyretic, and anticoagulant properties.
