Ultrasonography is a method of imaging that classically is used in dermatology to study changes in the hypoderma, as nodules and infectious and inflammatory processes. The introduction of high frequency and resolution equipments enabled the observation of superficial structures, allowing differentiation between skin layers and providing details for the analysis of the skin and its appendages. T...

Hypoderma tarandi causes myiasis in reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus spp.) in most northern hemisphere regions where these animals live. We report a series of 39 human myiasis cases caused by H. tarandi in Norway from 2011 to 2016. Thirty-two were residents of Finnmark, the northernmost county of Norway, one a visitor to Finnmark, and six lived in other counties of Norway where reindeer ...

The promising results obtained with certain organic phosphorus compounds such as Dow-ET-14 and Dow-ET-57 against Hypoderma sp. (McGregor, Radeleff & Bushland, 1954; McGregor & Bushland, 1957; Adkins, 1957; Roth & Gaines, 1957), indicated the possible use of these systemic insecticides for the treatment of specific oculo-vascular myiasis (Basson, 1962). The heavy losses sustained by the farmers ...

We describe Canariphantes junipericola n. sp. and C. relictus n. sp., new single-island endemic linyphiid spiders from the islands of Flores and Santa Maria (Azorean archipelago, Macaronesia), respectively. The female of the first species was incorrectly assigned to Canariphantes acoreensis (Wunderlich, 1992), a species occurring in four islands in the Central Group of Azores (Faial, Pico, São ...

The prevalence of hypodermosis was examined in 285 cows from 10 herds from different regions of Poland. The prevalence of invasion ranged from 10 to 86% in particular herds. The highest number of infected animals occurred in herds from eastern and north-eastern Poland and the lowest one in herds from southern and central regions of the country. Hypoderma bovis antibodies were examined in animal...

In this study, two halophilic bacterial strains isolated from saline habitats in Argentina grew in the presence of gas oil. They were identified as Halomonas spp. and Nesterenkonia sp. by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. Chemotaxis towards gas oil was observed in Halomonas spp. by using swimming assays.
