A biological/medical review of alien tick species (Acari: Ixodida) accidentally transferred to Poland

Alien tick species of the genera Ixodes, Amblyomma, Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus are sporadically transferred to the territories of the Central European countries. A biological-medical review of the following alien tick species transferred to Poland is presented: Ixodes eldaricus, Ixodes festai, Amblyomma sphenodonti, Amblyomma exornatum, Amblyomma flavomaculatum, Amblyomma latum, Amblyomma nuttalli, Amblyomma quadricavum, Amblyomma transversale, Amblyomma varanense, Hyalomma aegyptium, Hyalomma marginatum, Rhipicephalus rossicus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The transfers of tick species out of the areas of natural distribution are divided into natural transfers (e.g., migration of ticks on hosts) and accidental transfers (e.g., resulting from the transport of livestock animals, trade in exotic animals, and transfers on animals during travel). It is important to monitor occurrence of unknown tick species on hosts in Poland

An IR study of 4(3H)-Pyrimidinone in solution adsorbed on NaX, NaY and ZSM-5 zeolites

WOS: 000348309000009In this study, the FT-IR spectra of 4(3H)-Pyrimidinone in acetic acid solution adsorbed on NaX (type 13X), NaY, and ZSM-5 zeolites are reported. At the same time, the IR wavenumbers of pure 4(3H)-Pyrimidinone molecule (Abbreviated as 4(3H)-Pyr), C4H4N2O, were calculated using the DFT/B3LYP level of theory with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The obtained IR spectral data indicate that nitrogen ion of the mentioned molecule was adsorbed on zeolites via the hidrogen bondings with the surface hydroxyl groups while some of infrared peaks of 4(3H)-Pyr in solution adsorbed on the title zeolites seem to interfere with the vibrational bands of free zeolites.Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [111T683]This work was supported by Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) (Project no. 111T683)
