Fuller's rose weevil, Naupactus cervinus (= Asynonychus = Pantomorus cervinus) (Boheman), is a cosmopolitan pest that currently represents a serious quarantine problem for the Chilean citrus industry due to its similarity at the egg stage with the quarantine pest Naupactus xanthographus (Germar). The objective of this research was to study the biological aspects associated with N. cervinus and N. xanthographus oviposition habits under laboratory conditions on orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) fruit. Adult N. cervinus and N. xanthographus were collected from the field to carry out the research. Results show that N. cervinus fecundity was higher than N. xanthographus by more than 70%, but egg viability was lower. It was recorded that 71.90% N. cervinus ovipositions were under the calyx. Likewise, 52.46% N. xanthographus ovipositions occurred on leaves and 40.98% on the surface of the plastic cage. In the present study, only N. cervinus lays egg masses under the calyx of citrus fruit.
Las cicatrices por acné son una complicación frecuente y con grandes implicaciones sociales y psicológicas en el individuo, por lo cual la atención debe estar dirigida al manejo oportuno y agresivo de las formas graves de acné evitando así, en lo posible, su aparición. Sin embargo, algunos de estos pacientes van a presentar dicha complicación aun con una intervención temprana; esto se debe a una alteración en la cicatrización y a la gravedad y duración del fenómeno inflamatorio. Para su tratamiento se cuenta con diferentes alternativas químicas, físicas y quirúrgicas que podrían ser una buena opción para mejorar la apariencia de la piel.
