Abstract
Flat wasps of the genera Sclerodermus and Cephalonomia (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) are ectoparasitoids of larvae from various insect orders. They are important biological control agents against stored-product insect pests and xylophagous insects. In humans, these genera encompass species that are responsible for the emergence of sting lesions worldwide. Despite their importance for human health, there are very few reports in the literature that provide a comprehensive overview of this topic. This review, based on literature data and authors' personal experience, describes skin lesions induced by insect species belonging to the Sclerodermus and Cephalonomia genera, focusing on possible involved pathomechanism, diagnosis, therapeutic management, and environmental disinfestation.
期刊介绍：
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology (CED) is a unique provider of relevant and educational material for practising clinicians and dermatological researchers. We support continuing professional development (CPD) of dermatology specialists to advance the understanding, management and treatment of skin disease in order to improve patient outcomes.
