| | Leech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Leeches are very distantly related to those organisms which carry rabies or other diseases affecting people, so disease-carrying organisms do not breed within a leech; in addition, they need to feed so infrequently that pathogens would die before being transmitted. | | | The medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, which is native to Europe, and its congeners have been used for clinical bloodletting for thousands of years. | | | The leech has long been used in medicine, although today its use is mainly limited to limb reattachment procedures instead of the wide-ranging medical use of the past. |

| | Medicinal leech |
| | Although leech feeding may be the first behavior one associates with medicinal leeches, neuroethologists have examined this species with particular interest in interneuronal oscillators. | | | This therapeutic use of leeches, the medicinal leech in particular, reached a height between 1825 and 1840. | | | Today medicinal leeches are used as tools in tissue grafts and reattachment surgery. |

| | Leeches |
| | A hungry leech is very responsive to light and mechanical stimuli. | | | A salivary secretion containing the anticoagulant and a histamine floods the wound and the leech relaxes its body to allow the blood to be ingested. | | | This is thought to maximise the function of the sensory structures in the skin. |
