Abstract

Mosquitoes are a family of the order Diptera. Throughout the world, there are two groups able to suck human blood and transmit diseases: the anophelines and the culicines comprise several genera such as Culex, Aedes and Aedes communis (Ac). Previous study has demostrated a significant relationship between Ac sensitization and either extract or single bee venom components suggesting a "bee-mosquito syndrome" occurrence. The aim of the study was to identify bands of cross reactivity between the extracts of Mosquito and Bee venom, with IgE positive sera.
