Accidents caused by lepidopterans ( moth larvae and adult ) : study on the epidemiological , clinical and therapeutic aspects
نویسنده
چکیده
The authors present and discuss some aspects of injuries caused by larvae of Lepidoptera (moths), emphasizing the skin manifestations and intense pain that characterize these conditions. Moreover, they present moth larvae that cause extracutaneous manifestations, such as severe coagulation disorders and ankylosing arthropathies, and dermatitis related to adult insects. The main groups of Lepidoptera that cause injuries in humans are presented as well as current therapeutic alternatives. Lepidopterism and erucism are common accidents and it is important that dermatologists be aware and able to recognize and treat this kind of poisoning.

The three-dimensional conformation of Aea-TMOF (Aedes aegypti Trypsin Modulating Oostatic Factor), a decapeptide (YDPAPPPPPP) isolated from mosquito ovaries that inhibits the translation of many trypsin-like serine proteases, e.g. in mosquitoes, flies and lepidopterans, was used as a model for the synthesis of 10 aromatic and aliphatic organic acid and ester analogues. The organic TMOF analogue...
