Tinea imbricata or tokelau is a chronic superficial mycosis caused by Trichophyton concentricum. The disease is endemic in the Pacific, including on the Solomon Islands, where it is known as bakua. The disease predominantly affects individuals living in poor rural communities with limited access to hygiene. It is estimated that between 10% and 20% of individuals in some Pacific countries are af...

Hybridization among sea turtle species has been widely reported in the Atlantic Ocean, but their detection in the Pacific Ocean is limited to just two individual hybrid turtles, in the northern hemisphere. Herein, we report, for the first time in the southeast Pacific, the presence of a sea turtle hybrid between the green turtle Chelonia mydas and the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata. Th...

Exposure of wheat (Triticum durum L.) to NaCl (100 and 200 mM) showed that this variety is moderately halo tolerant. Germination rates in the absence and presence of salt (100 and 200 mM) are respectively 98.3, 83.3 and 53.3%. The supply of Salsola vermiculata and the combination between this halophyte and Streptomyces sp. SF5 affected germination significantly. Germination rates in the absence...

BACKGROUND Sensitivity to Salsola kali is a frequent cause of allergic respiratory disease in various regions of Spain. However, there are very few articles in which this allergen has been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS In order to evaluate the tolerance of this extract, a prospective study has been performed. This study was observational, multi-centred and open, involving 88 patients with alle...

The Amaranthaceae family is composed of about 180 genera and 2500 species. These common weeds have become increasingly relevant as triggers of allergy in the last few years, as they are able to rapidly colonize salty and arid soils in extensive desert areas. The genera Chenopodium, Salsola, and Amaranthus are the major sources of pollinosis from the Amaranthaceae family in southern Europe, west...
