ABSTRACT
The enclosed publication completes the set of three parts of manuscript summarising the present know how of medically important Hymenoptera insects. It is devoted to Formicidae family. Similarly to published two parts before the present one introduces medically effective biological aspects and environmental studies of selected subfamilies of these insects. The role and importance of their venom components has been discussed in detail including the purpose for potential modern diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Attention was paid to their behaviour. In presentation of Formicidae subfamilies one proved not only human allergic reactions caused by them (Formicidae) but also other dangerous health disorders and economically important environmental disturbances.
