The Identification of Potential Immunogenic Antigens in Particular Active Developmental Stages of the Rice Weevil ().

Background: The rice weevil () originates from subtropical and tropical areas of Asia and Africa, but it also appears on other continents, mostly as a result of trade in rice. It may occur in grain fields as well as in storage facilities, and cause allergenic reactions. The aim of this study was to identify the potential antigens in all developmental stages of which may cause an allergic response in humans.

L. (Hippoboscidae: Hippobosca)-An Old Enemy as an Emerging Threat in the Palearctic Zone.

Arthropods of the Hippoboscoidea superfamily are parasites of animals from various systematic groups. Mass appearances of these insects and their attacks on people are increasingly being recorded. Their parasitism has a negative effect on host well-being, as it causes feelings of agitation and irritation as well as skin itching and damage.

Two New Haplotypes of sp. Isolated from (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) in SE Poland.

Insects of the genus are parasitic arthropods with a broad host range. Due to the type of parasitism (hematophagy), their potential role as vectors of pathogens, i.e.

Occurrence and Abundance of in the Habitats of the Ecological Corridor of the Wieprz River, Eastern Poland.

Ecological corridors are zones of natural vegetation, which connect with other vegetation strips to create migration routes for animals and plants. The aim of our study was to investigate the occurrence and relative abundance of in various habitats of the ecological corridor of the Wieprz River in eastern Poland. Ticks were collected using the flagging method in seven sites within the ecological corridor of the Wieprz River, i.

Exposure of Humans to Attacks by Deer Keds and Consequences of Their Bites-A Case Report with Environmental Background.

Insects of the genus e.g., and , are hematophagic ectoparasites mainly attacking deer, roe deer, moose, horses, and cattle.

The level of habitat patchiness influences movement strategy of moose in Eastern Poland.

Spatio-temporal variation in resource availability leads to a variety of animal movement strategies. In the case of ungulates, temporally unpredictable landscapes are associated with nomadism, while high predictability in the resource distribution favours migratory or sedentary behaviours depending on the spatial and temporal scale of landscape dynamics. As most of the surveys on moose (Alces alces) movement behaviours in Europe have been conducted on Scandinavian populations, little is known about the movement strategies of moose at the southern edge of the species' range.

Ascaridole-rich essential oil from marsh rosemary (Ledum palustre) growing in Poland exerts insecticidal activity on mosquitoes, moths and flies without serious effects on non-target organisms and human cells.

Marsh rosemary (Ledum palustre, Ericaceae) has been widely used in the traditional medicine of various regions worldwide, and as insect repellent. Little is known on its essential oil insecticidal potential. This study explored the insecticidal effects of the essential oil obtained from L.
