Common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., one of the most dangerous invasive species for its high allergenic pollen production, has been spreading in Europe since the 19th century but has not until now recruited any effective natural enemy. In its native range, North america, many insects and fungi are recorded feeding or developing on this weed, reducing common ragweed impact on human health and habitats. Some of these organisms, specific or oligophagous on A. artemisiifolia, are considered promising agents for the biological control of this weed, and in some cases they have already been introduced in other continents. Among these species, the leaf beetle Ophraella communa LeSage (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was found at the beginning of august 2013 attacking common ragweed near a nursery in Galliate (Novara province - piedmont Region). Field surveys were carried out from august to November in various piedmont counties to document the spread of this recently introduced galerucine species. Data are reported regarding the leaf beetle’s morphology, biological cycle, spread, hosts and natural enemies in the new range. Prospects for the biological control of common ragweed in Europe are also discussed.

Митохондриальный геном кодирует жизненно важные белки субъединиц дыхательной цепи и характеризуется высоким уровнем полиморфизма в популяциях человека. Однако работы по поиску генов предрасположенности к многофакторным заболеваниям, в том числе сердечно-сосудистым, часто ограничиваются анализом ядерного генома. В то же время показано, что отдельные генотипы мтДНК могут отличаться более высокой или низкой эффективностью окислительного фосфорилирования. Выявлены ассоциации популяционного полиморфизма мтДНК с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями. Согласно результатам наших исследований, а также опубликованных другими авторами результатам ассоциативных и функциональных исследований, можно говорить о том, что эффект полиморфизма мтДНК проявляется чаще не в предрасположенности к сердечно-сосудистым заболеваниям в целом, а в риске развития осложнений и коморбидных фенотипов в пределах синтропии сердечно-сосудистого континуума. Mitochondrial genome, encoding respiratory chain subunits, is characterized by high polymorphism level in human populations. In most studies for susceptibility genes for common diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, the analysis is limited to the nuclear genome. It was shown that particular mtDNA genotypes may differ by oxidative phosphorylation efficiency. Some associations of mtDNA polymorphisms with cardiovascular diseases have been found. According to our results and published data, we suggest that mtDNA effect on cardiovascular system does not manifest in predisposition to cardiovascular diseases themselves but rather in risk of complications and comorbidities in the cardiovascular continuum.
