چکیده

The two variable domains D1 and D2 near the 5' end of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene (large subunit rRNA) have been sequenced for Vespa crabro. The sequence was aligned to corresponding rDNA regions of the wasp species Nasonia vitripennis, Melittobia digitata and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We analysed the nucleotide composition and sequence similarity for the different regions of the investigated sequences and present the inferred secondary structure of Vespa crabro.

Identification of yeast species from uncultivated soils by sequence analysis of the hypervariable D1/D2 domain of LSU–rDNA gene in Kermanshah province, Iran

Yeasts are a polyphyletic group of ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi characterized by having a unicellular growth phase and sexual stages that are not enclosed in fruiting bodies. An attempt was made to identify yeast species in uncultivated soils collected from different areas of Kermanshah province, Iran, by analyzing hypervariable D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rDNA gene sequencean...

Behavioral syndrome in a native and an invasive hymenoptera species.

Recent studies have focused on the role of behavior in biological invasions. Individuals may differ consistently in time for several behavioral traits (personality) which covary (behavioral syndrome) resulting in different behavioral types, some of them favoring invasion. Social hymenopterans have a strong potential to be invaders and their success depends primarily on the foundresses' ability ...

Cross reactivity between European hornet and yellow jacket venoms.

BACKGROUND Cross-reactions between venoms may be responsible for multiple diagnostic positivities in hymenoptera allergy. There is limited data on the cross-reactivity between Vespula spp and Vespa crabro, which is an important cause of severe reactions in some parts of Europe. We studied by CAP-inhibition assays and immunoblotting the cross-reactivity between the two venoms. METHODS Sera fro...

Wasp venom is appropriate for immunotherapy of patients with allergic reaction to the European hornet sting.

AIM To identify whether it is the yellow jacket (Vespula germanica) or European hornet (Vespa crabro) venom that induces sensitization in patients with IgE-mediated allergic reaction to the venom from the sting of a European hornet. Since these patients usually have positive skin tests and specific IgE to all vespid venoms, it would be useful to distinguish cross-reactors from non-cross-reactor...
