EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BOUTONNEUSE FEVER IN WESTERN SICILY
1986
The distribution and prevalence of spotted fever group rickettsial infection in the ixodid dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus were found to occur at a rate of 19.7% with variation related to geographic and sociooccupational factors. A higher rate of infection was demonstrated in ticks removed from dogs associated with documented cases of boutonneuse fever. The results fit into available clinical and seroepidemiologic data on Rickettsia conorii infection in western Sicily.
Resistance to amitraz in the parasitic honey bee mite Varroa destructor is associated with mutations in the β−adrenergic-like octopamine receptor
2021
AbstractVarroa destructor is considered a major reason for high loss rate of Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies. To prevent colony losses caused by V. destructor it is necessary to actively manage the mite population. Beekeepers, particularly commercial beekeepers, have few alternative treatments other than synthetic acaricides to control the parasite, resulting in intensive treatment regimens that led to the evolution of resistance in mite populations.To investigate the mechanism of the resistance to amitraz detected in V. destructor mites from French and U.S. apiaries, we identified and characterized octopamine and tyramine receptors (the known targets of amitraz) in this species…
El cuento de senderos que se bifurcan. El Noble cuento del enperador Carlos Maynes y sus encrucijadas genéricas
2016
International audience; Tras un breve balance del estado de la cuestión en cuanto a las fuentes del Carlos Maynes, este trabajo estudia los cambios genéricos que obran en este relato: paso de «cantar de gesta» a «cuento maravilloso», es decir a relato en prosa de aventuras caballerescas; del docere al delectare; del tema de las reinas injustamente acusadas a la problemática del buen gobierno en el espacio conflictivo de la corte. Estos cruces temáticos nuevos del Carlos Maynes abren, además, muchas puertas: nuevos grupos sociales pueden entrar a formar parte del espacio literario –con la creación de personajes como los villanos Barroquer y Griomoart–, pero también nuevos tonos y estilos com…

Estudio del proceso simultáneo de sacarificación y fermentación aceto-butílica-etílica a partir de paja de arroz
2022
El sistema energético de la Unión Europea está experimentando una profunda transformación con la finalidad de mitigar el cambio climático y de asegurar la independencia energética de sus Estados Miembro. Para ello se están llevando a cabo una serie de medidas como la implantación de una cuota mínima en el transporte del 3.5% de biocarburantes producidos a partir de residuos lignocelulósicos, entre otros biocombustibles, para 2030. En este contexto, toma relevancia la producción de biobutanol a partir de residuos lignocelulósicos mediante la fermentación aceto-butílica-etílica (ABE). Sin embargo, su implantación a nivel industrial continúa presentando una serie de desafíos entre los que se p…
Effects of Rosmarinus officinalis and Salvia officinalis essential oils on Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)
2013
Laboratory trials were carried out to characterize Rosmarinus officinal and Salvia officinalis essential oils and to evaluate their pesticidal activities against Tetranychus urticae. Slide-dip and leaf-disk bioassays were employed to study the mortality caused by these plant oils on two-spotted spiders. Different dilutions of both essential oils (0.10-0.25%, v/v) caused acute contact toxicity, although the sage extract showed greater acaricidal activity than rosemary oil. Mortality rates of 95-100% were observed at all the sage oil dosages and when rosemary emulsions contained at least 0.20% of essential oil. In the residual contact experiments (leaf-disk assays), 0.15-0.25% of sage oil or …
A comparison of infestation patterns by Ixodes ticks in urban and rural populations of the Common Blackbird Turdus merula
2002
Although spatial variation in the patterns of parasite infestations among host populations may have important ecological and epidemiological consequences, the causes underlying such variation are poorly known. In the context of a long-term study on the population biology of Common Blackbirds Turdus merula , we examined the prevalence and intensity of infestation by Ixodes ticks between birds living in rural vs. urban habitats. The overall prevalence of tick infestations was significantly higher in the rural habitat where 74% of individuals ( n = 130) were infested. This result contrasted markedly with the situation in the urban habitat where less than 2% of individuals ( n = 360) carried ti…
Additions to the Nepalese oribatid mite fauna, with description of two new species (Acari, Oribatida)
2013
An annotated checklist of identified oribatid mite taxa from Nepal is provided. It includes 45 species/subspecies, 38 genera and 31 families; 34 species/subspecies are recorded for the first time in Nepal. Two new species, Eremaeus anichkini n. sp. (Eremaeidae) and Ghilarovizetes longiporosus n. sp. (Ceratozetidae), are described from soil and litter. An identification key to all known species of the genus Ghilarovizetes is given.urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:BE27D886-1294-4E55-AD0B-25CDFC663D71
Invertebrates in Fruitbodies of Heterobasidion spp., Infected Picea abies Logs and Adjacent Soil
2021
Heterobasidion spp. pathogenic fungi produce conspicuous fruitbodies on infected wood, which may represent a habitat for a range of organisms, including invertebrates. The aim was to: (i) assess and compare invertebrate diversity in Heterobasidion spp. fruitbodies, infected Picea abies wood and adjacent soil
Quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) from Aegithalos caudatus (Passeriformes: Aegithalidae)
2004
Three species of syringophilid mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) were collected from quills of Aegithalos caudatus (Passeriformes: Aegithalidae) in Poland, Picobia caudati sp. n. from body feathers, Dissonus scirpaceus Skoracki, 1999 from rectrices, and Syringophilopsis aegithali Bochkov et al., 2001 from secondaries.
