Thelazia gulosa Railliet & Henry, 1910 and T. skrjabini Erschow, 1928 infection in Southern Europe (Italy)
The occurrence of Thelazia gulosa and T. skrjabini in cattle in Italy, together with an update of the prevalence of Thelazia spp. in the southern Italy, is reported. On 764 slaughtered native cattle, fifty-five (7.2 %) bovines were infected by Thelazia spp: T. rhodesi was found in 44 (80 %) animals, T. gulosa was found in 19 (34.5 %) cattle and only one (1.8 %) cattle harboured T. skrjabini. This is the first report of T. gulosa and T. skrjabini in Southern Europe

Tomato fruit necrosis: Relation with a strain of cucucmber mosaic virus and its satellite RNA.
"OCCURRENCE OF THELAZIA LACRIMALYS (NEMATODA, SPIRURIDA, THELAZIIDAE), IN NATIVE HORSES IN ITALY”
A survey on the prevalence of Thelazia spp. in the province of Bari (Apulia region, Italy) in slaughtered native horses was conducted from June 20, 1995 to April 3, 1996. Both eyes from 409 tenmonth- to 4-year-old native animals were examined. Sixty horses (14.7%) were found parasitized by Thelazia lacrymalis. Three hundred-sixty one parasite specimens (220 females, 99 males and 42 larvae) were collected with a mean count burden of 6.0-5.1 (range 1 to 20) per head. T. lacrymalis specimens were found free in the conjunctiva and behind the nictitancte, in the excretory ducts of the Harderian gland and in the ducts of the lacrimal glands. Thelazia specimens were significantly more common in horses of 3-4 years. Gross examination of all infected animals showed a follicular conjunctivitis. This is the first report of T. lacrymalis horse infection in Italy
Role of cucumber mosaic virus and its satellite RNA in the etiology of tomato fruit necrosis in Italy
A cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolate supporting a natural 390-ribonucleotide satellite was used to reproduce under experimental conditions a disease of processing tomatoes called fruit necrosis. The virus induced incomplete differentiation of the vascular tissue of fruit stalks, which was the likely cause of the disease. On the other hand, the satellite RNA attenuated viral symptoms on tomato leaves reproducing the disease pattern typically observed in the field. The biological properties of this seemingly new variant of cucumoviral satellite RNAs were determined
On some arthropods associated with Ficus species (Moraceae) in the Maltese Islands
An account is given on the 39 arthropod species which were found on different Ficus trees in the Maltese Islands. Seventeen species represent new records for Malta including Anothopoda fici, Asetadiptacus emiliae, Astichus bachmaieri, Ecphylus caudatus, Empoasca alsiosa, Eupristina verticillata, Ficocyba ficaria, Gynaikothrips ficorum, Josephiella microcarpae, Philotrypesis caricae, Pleistodontes sp., Rhaphitelus maculats, Rhyncaphytoptus ficifoliae, Scobicia chevrieri, Silba adipata, Singhiella citrifolii and Zanchius breviceps. Anothopoda fici and Zanchius breviceps, also represent new records for the entire European territory. Of the 39 arthropods, 33 feed on Ficus trees, whereas the rest are either parasitoids or predators of some of these plant feeders. The 33 species which use Ficus as their host-plant spend most of their development on and utilise the aforementioned trees as their main source of food, at least during their larval development.peer-reviewe
