The Asian wasp Vespa velutina nigrithorax: Entomological and allergological characteristics

Carmen Vidal

Summary: The yellow-legged or Asian wasp, an invasive species, poses a threat to human health and has become the most prevalent cause of anaphylaxis in regions such as Spain. Studies show that Vespula venom extracts are effective in treating patients with anaphylaxis caused by V. velutina venom, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option.

Asian Hornet, Vespa velutina Lepeletier 1836 (Hym.: Vespidae), Venom Obtention Based on an Electric Stimulation Protocol

Xesus Feas et al.

Summary: The invasive yellow-legged Asian hornet has become a public health concern due to the health risks and deaths caused by its stings. This study presents a straightforward method for obtaining the hornet's venom and analyzing it using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These findings will contribute to the development of improved diagnostic and therapeutic methods for patients allergic to this invasive species.

Human Fatalities Caused by Hornet, Wasp and Bee Stings in Spain: Epidemiology at State and Sub-State Level from 1999 to 2018

Xesus Feas

Summary: Although not common, fatalities from hornet, wasp, and bee stings in Spain mainly affected men over 65 years of age during summertime at unspecified locations. Surprisingly, the region of Galicia showed high mortality rates in hornet stings. The invasive species Vespa velutina poses a significant health risk due to its habits, abundance, and broader distribution compared to native Hymenoptera species.

Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps

Ryan E. Brock et al.

Summary: Aculeate wasps are diverse insects that play important roles in ecosystems, yet their ecosystem services are not well understood compared to other insect groups. Their economic value is mainly reflected in their roles in natural pest management and biological control programs.

Non-IgE-mediated anaphylaxis

Antonella Cianferoni

Summary: Anaphylaxis is not only IgE-mediated, but also involves non-IgE pathways; mast cells and basophils can be activated by various substances, leading to reactions similar to anaphylaxis.

Wasp Venom Biochemical Components and Their Potential in Biological Applications and Nanotechnological Interventions

Aida Abd El-Wahed et al.

Summary: Wasps can be solitary or social, with social wasps using venom to protect their colonies and solitary wasps using it to capture prey. The bioactive constituents in wasp venom have anticancer, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects, but challenges remain in synthesizing these compounds.

Venom Immunotherapy: From Proteins to Product to Patient Protection

Martin Feindor et al.

Summary: This review delves into the important distinctions between allergen-specific immunotherapy for inhalant allergies and venom-specific immunotherapy, focusing on Venomil(R) Bee and Wasp. It discusses historical safety and efficacy studies, characterization and standardization of venom marker allergens, quality differences between products, and considerations for enhancing VIT with depot adjuvants. These discussions highlight the ongoing research and discussions surrounding treatment outcomes and product quality.
