Fuligo septica contains a yellow pigment called fuligorubin A that is thought to be involved in photoreception and in the process of energy conversion during its life cycle. [16] In 2011, a Japanese research group reported isolating and characterizing a new chlorine -containing yellow pigment from a specific strain of the organism that they ...
Gongylonema pulchrum was first named and presented with its own species by Molin in 1857. The first reported case was in 1850 by Dr. Joseph Leidy, when he identified a worm "obtained from the mouth of a child" from the Philadelphia Academy (however, an earlier case may have been treated in patient Elizabeth Livingstone in the seventeenth century [2]).

Dogs that are bitten may develop a moderate to severe dermatitis. [15] And L. cervi can attain Bartonella schoenbuchensis from biting deer. [13] Much, however, remains unknown about the ked's potential to pose a medical or veterinary threat. Remains of L. cervi have been found on Ötzi, the Stone Age mummy from the Schnalstal glacier in South ...
C. stigma mainly lives within terrestrial/arboreal habitats, primarily feeding on aphids found in these habitats as well as scales (such as pine needle scale, beech bark scale and Florida red scale) and mealybugs. It is a beneficial insect, and is useful in both natural wood stands and commercial forests such as orchards and citrus groves. It ...
