Artemisia pollen is an important allergen in Europe. In Poznań (Western Poland), three Artemisia species, A. vulgaris, A. campestris and A. absinthium, are widely distributed. However, the contributions of these species to the total airborne pollen are unknown. The aim of the study was to determine the flowering phenology and pollen production of the three abovementioned species and to construc...

BACKGROUND Bee pollen has been proposed as a food supplement, but it can be a dangerous food for people with allergy. We study an allergic reaction after ingestion of bee pollen in a 4-year-old boy who had developed rhinitis in the last spring and autumn. METHODS We performed a prick-by-prick test with bee pollen and skin prick tests with the most important local pollens, house dust mites, co...

Abstract Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the most destructive pests stored products. Although there have been studies on potential use essential oils from plants in Artemisia genus as insecticides, no comprehensive bioactivity data are available efficacy vulgaris L. (Asterales: Asteraceae) oil and its chemical constituents stored-product pests. Therefore, this...

Artemisia annua belongs to the asteraceae family, indigenous to the mild climate of Asia. The aim of this study was to overview its anti-malarial properties, immunosuppressive properties, anti-inflammatory properties and anti-cancer properties. This systematic review was carried out by searching studies in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and IranMedex databases. The initial search strategy ide...

Essential oil from aerial parts of Artemisia vulgaris L., was obtained by hydro-distillation to produce oil in the yield of 0.25% (w/w). The oil was analyzed by capillary gas chromatography, using mass spectrometric detection. The amount of the samples injected by nano scale included were 1.0 nL (diluted 1.0 μL of sample in 1000 ml of n-pentane, v/v). Twenty three bioactive and flavour molecule...
