Description:
During a survey the occurrence of Kudoa quraishii Mansour, Harrath, Abd-Elkader, Alwasel, Abdel-Baki et Al Omar, 2014, recently identified in the muscles of the Indian mackerel, Rastrelliger kanagurta (Cuvier), a species of Kudoa Meglitsch, 1947 infecting oocytes of mature females of the same host fish was found. The new species, for which the name Kudoa saudiensis sp. n. is proposed, infects oocytes that are enlarged with a whitish colour. The parasite develops in vesicular polysporous plasmodia within the oocyte. Infection occurs with a mean prevalence of 20% (7/35) of examined females. Mature spores are quadratic in shape in apical view, having four equal valves and four symmetrical polar capsules. Fresh spores are 2.4-3.6 µm long (mean ± SD 3.1 ± 0.3 µm), 4.3-5.4 µm (4.7 ± 0.3 µm) wide and 3.4-4.3 µm (3.8 ± 0.3 µm) in thickness and long. The smaller size of the new Kudoa species was the distinctive feature that separates it from all previously described species. Molecular analysis based on the SSU rDNA sequences shows that the highest percentage of similarity of 98.5% was observed with K. ovivora Swearer et Robertson, 1999, reported from oocytes of labroid fish from the Caribbean coasts of Panama. The percentage of similarity was 98% with K. azevedoi Mansour, Thabet, Chourabi, Harrath, Gtari, Al Omar et Ben Hassine, 2013 and 89% with K. quraishii. Phylogenetic analysis of the SSU and LSU rDNA data revealed a consistent of the new species with K. azevedoi and K. ovivora. Our findings support the creation of Kudoa saudiensis sp. n. that infects oocytes of the Indian mackerel Rastrelliger kanagurta., Lamjed Mansour, Abdel Halim Harrath, Abdel-Azeem S.

Description:
Rýchlo sa šíriaca pandémia ochorenia Covid-19 ovplyvnila všetky aspekty každodenného života ľudí po celom svete. Spôsobila negatívne dopady pre celú spoločnosť, avšak vysoké obavy vyvoláva najmä u onkologických pacientov, u ktorých je v dôsledku onkologického ochorenia a jeho liečby prítomné zvýšené riziko komplikácií a úmrtnosti v prípade nákazy koronavírusom. Súbežne s klinickým rizikom je potrebné venovať pozornosť aj psychologickým rizikám pandémie, najmä čo sa týka nárastu emocionálneho stresu, úzkosti, depresie a osamelosti u týchto pacientov. Do dnešného dňa je k dispozícii iba obmedzený počet štúdií podrobne skúmajúcich potenciálne psychologické dopady pandémie Covid-19 u pacientov s diagnostikovanou rakovinou. Tento naratívny prehľad syntetizuje doposiaľ dostupné poznatky zahrňujúce pandemické bariéry pre onkologickú starostlivosť pacientov, ako aj obavy v dôsledku pandémie a ich následný psychosociálny vplyv na kvalitu života v obzvlášť rizikovej skupine onkologických pacientov. Štúdia tiež poukazuje na niektoré možnosti starostlivosti o pacientov počas súčasnej pandémie, využiteľné aj v prípade budúcich pandémií, či v postpandemickom období. Prehľad týchto poznatkov môže poskytnúť bližší obraz psychologického dopadu pandémie Covid-19 na kvalitu života pacientov s onkologickým ochorením a umožniť lepšie porozumieť ich obavám i celkovému prežívaniu. and The rapidly spreading of COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of people's daily lives around the world. It has negative impact on society, a matter of great concern, especially for cancer patients. They are at increased risk of complications and mortality from coronavirus infection due to cancer and its treatment. Alongside the clinical risk, attention should be also paid to the psychological risks of the pandemic, especially regarding the increase in emotional stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness in patients. To date, there are only a limited number of studies examining the potential psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients. This narrative review synthesizes available findings including pandemic barriers to cancer care, as well as pandemic concerns and their subsequent psychosocial impact on quality of life in a particularly high-risk group of cancer patients. It highlights some of the care options for patients during the current pandemic, that can be used in case of future pandemics or in the post-pandemic period. An overview of these findings can provide a closer look of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of cancer patients and provide a better understanding of their concerns and overall well-being.

Description:
Primárnym cieľom výskumnej štúdie bola kvalitatívna analýza pokračujúcich väzieb u žien po strate partnera. Ďalšími cieľmi bola analýza kvality vzťahu s partnerom pred stratou a analýza rituálov využívaných po strate. Výskumný súbor tvorilo 10 žien po strate partnera v období neskorej dospelosti až staroby. Vek participantiek sa pohyboval v rozmedzí od 56 do 83 rokov (M = 71,4 rokov; SD = 3,07), dĺžka vzťahu s partnerom sa pohybovala od 32 do 59 rokov (M = 46,9 rokov; SD = 8,6) a uplynulý čas od straty partnera sa pohyboval v rozmedzí od 9 mesiacov do 10 rokov, 4 mesiacov (M = 47,5 mesiaca; SD = 11,26). Údaje boli získané pološtrukturovanými rozhovormi, ktorých cieľom bolo hlbšie preskúmanie prežívania ovdovených participantiek. Na analýzu dát bola použitá metóda konsenzuálneho kvalitatívneho výskumu. Výsledkom analýzy údajov boli 3 domény: Formy pokračujúcich väzieb u vdov po strate partnera, Formy rituálov u vdov po strate partnera, Pozitívne a negatívne vnímané aspekty kvality vzťahu. Na základe získaných dát bol popísaný typický prípad prežívania väzieb k partnerovi u ovdovených žien. Formy pokračujúcich väzieb sú rôznorodé, môžu mať charakter pozitívnych, ambivalentných, ale aj negatívne prežívaných väzieb. Môžu byť pokračovaním rôznych aspektov vzťahu, ktorý existoval pred stratou, pričom ponúkajú nové možnosti, ktorými sa vzťah môže meniť alebo napredovať. Výsledky sú interpretované a diskutované s predchádzajúcimi výskumnými zisteniami. and The primary aim of this research study was a qualitative analysis of continuing bonds in women after the loss of a partner. The sub-goals were to analyse the quality of the pre-death relationship with a partner and to analyse the rituals used during the grieving process. The research sample consisted of 10 elderly widows. Age of participants ranged from 56 to 83 years (M = 71,4 years; SD = 3,07), length of the relationship with a partner ranged from 32 to 59 years (M = 46,9 years; SD = 8,6) and time elapsed since the loss ranged from 9 months to 10 years, 4 months (M = 47,5 months; SD = 11,26). Data were obtained by semi-structured interviews, aimed to explore more in-depth experiences of widowed participants. Consensual Qualitative Research was used to analyse the data. The data analysis resulted in 3 domains: Forms of continuing bonds in widows after the loss of a partner, Forms of rituals in widows after the loss of a partner, Positively and negatively perceived aspects of the relationship quality. Based on the obtained data, the typical case of experiencing continuing bonds to a partner in widowed women was described. The forms of continuing bonds are diverse, they can be experienced positively, ambivalently, or negatively. They may mean a continuation of various aspects of the pre-loss relationship, offering new opportunities for the relationship to change or progress after death. The results are interpreted and discussed in line with previous research findings.

Description:
Larvae and adults of Korynetes caeruleus (de Geer 1775) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) were collected from old churches and reared in the laboratory on Anobium punctatum (de Geer 1774) (Coleoptera: Ptinidae). Breeding success of K. caeruleus was low, but basic parameters of this species' developmental cycle were identified. At 21°C and 75% relative humidity and a four-month cold period at 4°C, the development of K. caeruleus from egg to adult appearance lasted 2 years. The pupal stage may be reached and completed after one and a half years. Feeding on larvae of A. punctatum by larvae of K. caeruleus was observed and consisted of a combination of sucking haemolymph and consuming body parts. The sickle-like mandibles of larvae of K. caeruleus penetrate the cuticle of prey larvae; this is followed by pumping and sucking body movements. Adult beetles of A. punctatum were not attacked by K. caeruleus larvae. Feeding behaviour of adult K. caeruleus was not investigated.

Description:
Setothosea asigna van Eecke is a dominant defoliator pest in oil palm plantations. To control this pest, a generalist predatory bug, Sycanus annulicornis Dohrn, was used as it is easy to rear on several different species of prey. In this study, we evaluated the influence of different prey on the biology and the ability of S. annulicornis to attack and kill the nettle caterpillar pest S. asigna. Based on laboratory rearing, the larvae of Crocidolomia pavonana F. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a suitable prey for both the growth and development of S. annulicornis, as its nymphal development is shorter (74.0 ± 7.3 days) and adult longevity longer (81.0 ± 9.0 days for male and 64.8 ± 12.4 days for female, respectively) than when reared on the larvae of Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) (44.0 ± 16.7 days for male and 52.6 ± 14.4 days for female). However, S. annulicornis reared on T. molitor larvae attacked 2.0-2.2 larvae of S. asigna per day, which is more than the 1.6-1.7 larvae per day of those reared on C. pavonana, which indicates that the larvae of T. molitor are a more effective diet for rearing S. annulicornis as biocontrol agent for the S. asigna., Abdul Sahid, Wahyu D.

Description:
Adult flies of the genus Stomoxys Geoffroy, 1762 (Diptera: Muscidae), especially S. pullus Austen, 1909, S. uruma Shinonaga et Kano, 1966 and S. indicus Picard, 1908, are morphologically similar and sometimes difficult to distinguish when using external morphological characteristics. These species may act as vectors and/or potential vectors of many pathogens (virus, bacteria and protozoa). Their correct identification is important to target the vectors involved in the transmission of the pathogens and also helps in the fly control program.The aim of the present study was to distinguish three species which are difficult to separate using traditional diagnostic characters for species of Stomoxys such as colour patterns and body proportions. Modern morphometrics, both landmark and outline-based, was used to access wing geometry of S. pullus, S. uruma and S. indicus. A total of 198 and 190 wing pictures were analysed for landmark- and outline-based approaches, respectively. Wing shape was able to separate species and sexes of the three Stomoxys flies with highly significant difference of Mahalanobis distances. The cross-validated classification scores ranged from 76% to 100% for landmark and 77% to 96% for outline-based morphometrics. The geometry of wing features appears to be a very useful, low-cost tool to distinguish among the vectors S. pullus, S. uruma and S. indicus. and Tanasak Changbunjong, Suchada Sumruayphol, Thekhawet Weluwanarak, Jiraporn Ruangsittichai, Jean-Pierre Dujardin.

Description:
Third instar larvae of the genus Acroceratitis Hendel from North Thailand are described for the first time. They belong to A. ceratitina (Bezzi), A. distincta (Zia), A. histrionica (de Meijere), A. incompleta Hardy, and A. septemmaculata Hardy. Short descriptions of eggs, empty egg shells, and puparia are also presented. Acroceratitis larvae infest shoots of bamboo (Poaceae). Larval host plants of the studied species are Bambusa polymorpha Munro, Cephalostachyum pergracile Munro, Dendrocalamus hamiltoni Nees and Arnott ex Munro, D. strictus (Roxbourgh), Dendrocalamus sp. (unidentified) and Pseudoxytenanthera albociliata (Munro). The morphological characters of Acroceratitis larvae are compared with those of other Gastrozonini described so far. A key to Acroceratitis larvae is provided. Acroceratitis ceratitina, A. incompleta and A. septemmaculata are morphologically similar and clearly differentiated from A. distincta and A. histrionica by the lack of additional papillar sensilla on the labial lobe, the arrangement of the spinules on the creeping welts and other characters. The morphological differences between the two groups coincide with the type of substrate utilized by their larvae: A. ceratitina, A. incompleta and A. septemmaculata larvae feed in young and soft internode walls, while A. distincta and A. histrionica utilize harder bamboo tissue of already elongated bamboo shoot internodes. Acroceratitis histrionica larvae are special within the Gastrozonini, because they develop exclusively in cavities formed by the internode surface and the protecting culm sheath. Factors influencing spatial utilization of larval resources, preference for upright shoots as breeding substrate, larval behavior, types of bamboo damage caused by different species and attraction to sweat and urine in the adults are discussed., Alexander Schneider, Damir Kovac, Gary J.
