Efficacy and safety of subcutaneous venom immunotherapy in children: A 24‐year experience in a pediatric tertiary care center [PDF]

Pediatr Allergy Immunol
Abstract Background Hymenoptera venom allergy is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, also in pediatric patients, highlighting the importance of effective management through venom immunotherapy (VIT). This study aimed to evaluate the safety profile of VIT, identify factors associated with adverse reactions (ARs), assess the accuracy of ...

Allergen Content of Therapeutic Preparations for Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy of European Paper Wasp Venom Allergy

Toxins, 2022
Allergy to Polistes dominula (European paper wasp) venom is of particular relevance in Southern Europe, potentially becoming a threat in other regions in the near future, and can be effectively cured by venom immunotherapy (VIT).

Age and social experience induced plasticity across brain regions of the paper wasp Polistes fuscatus

Biology Letters, 2021
Developmental studies of brain volumes can reveal which portions of neural circuits are sensitive to environmental inputs. In social insects, differences in relative investment across brain regions emerge as behavioural repertoires change during ontogeny

Individual recognition is associated with holistic face processing in Polistes paper wasps in a species-specific way

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
Most recognition is based on identifying features, but specialization for face recognition in primates relies on a different mechanism, termed ‘holistic processing’ where facial features are bound together into a gestalt which is more than the sum of its
