1 Introduction The branch of entomology dedicated to understanding, preventing and controlling diseases is called medical entomology (Connelly 2019). Specifically, this field investigates the relationship between insects or other arthropods and human, domestic, or animal health (Laroche et al. 2017).

Nowadays, a large range of antimicrobial drugs are available and used to treat many human infections. In particular, antibiotics are potent drugs used to treat pathogenic bacteria. However, their extensive and indiscriminate use, especially in developing countries, in both human medical and veterinary treatment, has contributed to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Antimicrobial Resistance Collaborators, 2022).
