BOGUSCH, P. LISKA, J. LUKAS & A. DUDICH Abstract: This study summarizes all localities of the invasive mud dauber wasp Sceliphron curvatum (SMITH 1870) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. First records of this species for Slovakia are presented. This sphecid wasp settled Europe in 1979 and has been spreading in all directions since that time. Presently, it is known from 12 European countries. The occurrence of this species in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic was for the first time confirmed in Devin (1997) and in Praha (2001), respectively. Recently, altogether 25 localities are known, 12 of which in the Czech Republic and 13 in Slovakia. The localities are situated in 8 squares in both countries. The biology of this species is also discussed and our results generally agree with the published data originating in other countries, e.g. India. Key words: Sceliphron curvatum, Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, distribution, biology Introduction Sphecid wasps of the genus Sceliphron KLUG 1801 are widely distributed in all regions of the world.

However, scant data are available on the issue. The aim of this study is to quantify the SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence and determinants in a sample of dentists, dental hygienists, and other personnel employed among the dental staff in Lombardy region. We used an accurate rapid diagnostic test kit detecting immunoglobulins (Ig) in 504 adults. Of the 499 participants who obtained a valid antibody test, 54 (10.8%) had a SARS-CoV-2 positive test (0.4% IgM+, 1.8% both IgM+ and Citation: Gallus, S.; Paroni, L.; Re, D.; IgG+, and 8.6% IgG+).
