Article Synopsis
  • Metastatic colorectal cancer has a low 5-year survival rate of under 15%, with common metastasis sites being the lungs and liver, while skin metastases are rare and often indicate a worse prognosis.
  • A case study of a 62-year-old woman revealed skin metastases from rectal cancer developed two years after treatment, confirming these through histological examination, although differing mutations were found between the primary tumor and skin lesions.
  • Despite treatment with FOLFOX6 chemotherapy and bevacizumab, the therapy failed, highlighting the need for close monitoring of skin for metastases in rectal cancer patients, as literature suggests median survival after detection is only 8.5 months.

Parasitoids, which constitute about 25% of all insects and attack arthropods of virtually all taxa, are considered the most suitable vectors for horizontal transmission of the symbiotic bacterium Wolbachia among insects. The parasitoids studied in this article develop in the larvae and pupae of ladybirds. For the first time, Wolbachia was found in parasitic wasp species of the genus Homalotylus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and from the subfamily Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae).
