Herein, we present an efficient rearing method for the endangered species Dineutus mellyi mellyi Régimbart, 1882 (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae), practiced at the Ishikawa Insect Museum. The survival rate of the larvae reared using this method at different developmental stages was as follows: first-instar larvae, 100% (n = 26); second-instar larvae, 100% (n = 26); third-instar larvae, 92% (n = 24); landing to pupate, 73% (n = 19); pupa, 73% (n = 19); and emergence to escape from pupal chamber, 69% (n = 18). Therefore, we recommend this method for sustainable ex situ conservation of this species. This method can be generalised to other Gyrinidae and aquatic Coleoptera species.","PeriodicalId":55492,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Insects","volume":"44 1","pages":"195 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43197477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The international rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has provided varying degrees of protection and enabled the understanding of vaccine efficacy and safety. The immune response to COVID-19 vaccines is lower in most patients with immune-mediated kidney diseases; either related to immunosuppression or comorbidities and complications caused by the underlying disease. Humoral vaccine response, measured by the presence of antibodies, is impaired or absent in patients receiving rituximab, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), higher doses of glucocorticoids and likely other immunosuppressants, such as cyclophosphamide. The timing between the use of these agents and administration of vaccines is associated with the level of immune response: with rituximab, vaccine response can only be expected once B cells start to recover and patients with transient discontinuation of MMF mount a humoral response more frequently. The emergence of new COVID-19 variants and waning of vaccine-induced immunity highlight the value of a booster dose and the need to develop mutant-proof vaccines. COVID-19 vaccines are safe, exhibiting a very low risk of de novo or relapsing immune-mediated kidney disease. Population-based studies will determine whether this is causal or coincidental. Such cases respond to standard management, including the use of immunosuppression. The Immunonephrology Working Group and European Vasculitis Society recommend that patients with immune-mediated kidney diseases follow national guidance on vaccination. Booster doses based on antibody measurements could be considered.</p>","PeriodicalId":55492,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Insects","volume":"15 1","pages":"1400-1410"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9383521/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81676577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We extend previous studies, examining the influence that varying air temperatures have on longevity and oviposition rates, and whether oviposition status impacts longevity. Adult chironomids (n = 339) were collected during winter of 2020 near a spring-fed stream in Camden State Park (Minnesota, USA). Insects were separated into 2 °C, 6 °C, and ambient outdoor (AO) temperature treatment groups to determine differential longevity and oviposition rates. Behaviours were monitored daily until death. The 2 °C group lived significantly longer than both 6 °C and AO groups, with mean longevities of 19.8, 14.9, and 13.9 days, respectively. Additionally, females held at 6 °C appear to have higher oviposition rates compared to 2 °C and AO groups. Results suggest low temperatures may delay or inhibit oviposition, suggesting a potential tradeoff of oviposition rate in favour of longevity.","PeriodicalId":55492,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Insects","volume":"44 1","pages":"52 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45564791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
