(Fabr., 1794) (Acari: Ixodidae) is parasite that spreads many diseases which are dangerous to humans and animals. Microelement lithium was found to have promising potential against the detrimental bee pest Furthermore, its effectiveness was confirmed against a major parasite of poultry, in vitro.

The number of miticides is few, and their efficacy in practice implies problems of residues and resistance; therefore, the demand for a new and safe agent is constant. The present publication investigated the effectiveness of lithium chloride under in vitro conditions on poultry red mites.

- The main threat to beekeeping is varroosis caused by mites, and existing chemical treatments may face issues like resistance.
- Lithium chloride has emerged as a potential alternative treatment, but its residue levels in honeybee products are not well understood.
- In a study, lithium concentrations in honeybees peaked at day 4 post-treatment, affecting uncapped honey but not beeswax, suggesting further research is needed on the safety of lithium in harvested honey.
Chloroplasts, mitochondria and vacuoles represent characteristic organelles of the plant cell, with a predominant function in cellular metabolism. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis and therefore basic and essential for photoautotrophic growth of plants. Mitochondria produce energy during respiration and vacuoles act as internal waste and storage compartments.

We conducted a time-and-motion study to investigate the workflow of clinical trial enrollment in a pediatric emergency department.
Methods: We observed clinical research coordinators during 3 clinically staffed shifts.
