What's eating you? Blister beetles.
VOLUME 74, NOVEMBER 2004 285 Blister beetles (Figure) are the source for commercial preparations of cantharidin. Many blister beetle species exist, and many have not been studied extensively. Much of what we know about blister beetles is extrapolated from studies of a few species. In some blister beetles, such as Epicauta funebris, cantharidin has been identified in all 10 life stages and accum...
متن کاملRole of blister fluid soluble HLA-E In SJS/TEN
Background Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to medications characterized by keratinocyte apoptosis, the formation of subepidermal blisters, and skin detachment. Cytotoxic lymphocytes including CTLs and NK cells seem to be the main effectors of keratinocyte killing. Natural killer cytotoxic activity is regulated t...
متن کاملAgronomic and biodiversity impacts of the blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in the world: A review
Blister beetles (Meloidae) are cosmopolitan in distribution except from New Zealand, Antarctica and most Polynesian islands. They act as minor pests for some crops and as major pests for others under certain conditions in several parts of the world. The present work reviews the most important agronomic impacts of various beetle species in different African, Asian, European and American countrie...
متن کاملEmbryonic and postembryonic development of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in the world: A synopsis
Blister (oil) beetles, family Meloidae, are distributed throughout the world except for New Zealand, Antarctica and most Polynesian islands. They are characterized by their complex biology including hypermetamorphosis and diapause. The present review discusses the embryonic development of several meloid species belonging to various genera. Concerning the postembryonic development, this work rev...
متن کاملFalse Blister Beetles and the Expansion of Gymnosperm-Insect Pollination Modes before Angiosperm Dominance
During the mid-Cretaceous, angiosperms diversified from several nondiverse lineages to their current global domination [1], replacing earlier gymnosperm lineages [2]. Several hypotheses explain this extensive radiation [3], one of which involves proliferation of insect pollinator associations in the transition from gymnosperm to angiosperm dominance. However, most evidence supports gymnosperm-i...
