[Human myiases]. / Miazele umane.

This general review presents a synthesis concerning the human myiases recorded all over the world, with reference to their incidence within the temperate regions in North America and Europe, including Romania. The report deals with both entomology, pathology, epidemiology matters (notifying the hazard of world spreading) and therapeutics, prophylaxis ones, and 5 tables are also inserted that contain the flies the most involved in the human pathology.

[The aerobic air microflora in airplanes on various international routes]. / Aeromicroflora aeroba în aeronavele de pe diferite rute internationale.

Aerobic microflora (bacteria, fungi), in the cock pits of the TAROM company (Boeing 707 and Il 62 M) airships flying on various international routes and airports was studied during November 1988-January 1989. 157-8,800 bacteria and 78-1,336 fungi per m3 air were recorded. Except for Staphylococcus aureus (hemolytic and non hemolytic) the greatest part of the isolated microorganisms was nonpathogenic for man: Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Neisseria, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Sarcina, Aspergillus, Penicillium etc. Several airships on the Asian airports contained a higher amount of bacteria and fungi but not higher than in the living rooms. Likewise, in high altitude flights, the microorganism amount was less than on the ground. The taxonomic spectrum of the bacteria and fungi isolated was almost identical on all the 9 international airports, thus suggesting the homogeneous and international character of saprophyte and pathogenic air microflora by means of the passenger and goods air flights.
