We present a human infection with the canine whipworm, Trichuris vulpis, in child suffering from rhinitis diagnosis of rhinitis. T. vulpis eggs resemble those trichiura but they can be differentiated based on their morphological features and egg size, using micrometry an ocular micrometer. measured average 90 µm by 44 (range 86-99 38-47 µm). Prevalence hookworms (28.1%), Toxocara canis (11.8%), (3.5%) was found 292 fecal samples dogs collected at peri-domicile, which showed that risk not...

Objectives: Pediculosis humanus capitis is a worldwide public health concern that affects mostly school-aged children. The aim of this study to determine the rate pediculosis and possible risk factors in group primary school children Valencia, Spain; 227 children, 6-7 years old, were selected from 7 schools.

The head louse Pediculus humanus capitis is a cosmopolitan ectoparasite that causes pediculosis. In the study of human lice, little research focuses on embryonic development. Currently, external markers development represent new approach in evaluation ovicidal drugs. objective this work was to update morphology and propose novel differentiate between early, medium, or late P. h. eggs.Using stereoscopic light microscopy, we describe morphological characteristics eggs with special focus...

The sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sorghi Theobald, 1904 (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is the most important pest of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poaceae), in Mexico. Control M. depends primarily on synthetic chemical insecticides, but new alternatives have been explored, such as botanical insecticides. objective this research was to evaluate aphidicide effect extract nhexane and methanol from stems Ceiba aesculifolia (Malvaceae) against apterous adults vitro. results revealed that n-hexane C. killed...

El desarrollo de los insectos se basa en la ecdisis, proceso que implica producción periódica un nuevo exoesqueleto y el desprendimiento del anterior. Combinando microscopía óptica, barrido láser confocal electrónica barrido, describimos detalles morfológicos exoesqueletos mudados naturalmente piojo cabeza, Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer. Todos tenían una expansión visible patrón consistente apertura ecdisial anterior línea dorsal medial termina vértice metatórax. Se observó...

The male genital structures of arthropods are key features in the taxonomic and phylogenetic study these organisms. genitalia head louse Pediculus humanus capitis complex organs which partly composed that dynamically extrude during copulation.Here, we describe morphology P. at copulation stage, rest, by using stereoscopic microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), electron (SEM).CLSM SEM images revealed vesica is two distinct anatomical parts, proximal lobe distal lobe. Both...
