Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest of berries and other soft-skinned fruits, was first detected in Chile in 2017, and has since spread over 2,800 km from north to south. Sustainable control of the spotted-wing drosophila (SWD) is essential due the negative attitude of the consumers toward the excessive use of insecticides. During a survey in Chile for biological control agents, thirty-two isolates of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) were isolated from mycotized insects and soil samples, identified through sequence analysis, and tested against D.

- - The study emphasizes the importance of genetic analysis as a follow-up to suspected metabolic disorders found in newborns during screening in Spain, by utilizing advanced sequencing techniques like next-generation sequencing.
- - Out of 141 DNA samples tested, 59% confirmed the suspected metabolic diseases, while other cases either showed single variants or no variants, and 11 false positives were recorded.
- - The findings suggest that combining genetic analysis with biochemical tests enhances the diagnosis accuracy for metabolic disorders in newborns, potentially confirming more cases than traditional methods alone.
Background: Cellular cobalamin defects are a locus and allelic heterogeneous disorder. The gold standard for coming to genetic diagnoses of cobalamin defects has for some time been gene-by-gene Sanger sequencing of individual DNA fragments. Enzymatic and cellular methods are employed before such sequencing to help in the selection of the gene defects to be sought, but this is time-consuming and laborious.

Material And Methods: Prospective observational cohort study including women with preterm labor from 22.0 to 36.
Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is a rare disorder of leucine metabolism. We carried out a multicenter study of IVA patients diagnosed by newborn screening (NBS) or symptoms clinics over a period of 28 years in Spain. Evaluated at diagnosis, data included age, detection method, levels of C5 and IVG, enzymatic studies, clinical presentation parameters and genotype in 16 patients.
