In Serbia, Stelidota geminata is for the first time found in 2011, in strawberry plantations on ripe fruits. Specimens of this species and strawberry fruits damages are established during harvest ...(last decade of May till beginning of July) in localities Gornja Bukovica (region of Valjevo) and Kaluđerica (region of Belgrade). The origin of this species is in USA where it is a serious strawberry pest known as 'Strawberry Sap Beetle'. About twenty years ago it has been accidentaly introduced in Europe. Both, adults and larvae of S. geminata feed on strawberry fruits, but the main damages originate by adults feeding. In harvest time the smell of ripen fruits attract adults from various hidden over wintering places. They feed on fruits making a deep cavities in which females lay eggs. Larvae feed in fruits too, but during their feeding and development, fruits are already damaged and decomposed. Mature larvae fall on the ground and pupate in pupal cell inside the soil. Second generation develops on fruits of various plants, and new imagoes hibernate on different hidden places. Because the harvest of damaged and decomposed strawberry fruits is impossible, an economical losses may be large. In fauna of Serbia, Stelidota geminata is a new species.

The six-year follow up of patients showed that surgical effect was permanent in 71.4% of cases. The most common cause of paralytic convergent strabismus has been trauma (71.4%), and, that, traffic accidents in 45.7%.

The third degree A-V heart block with severe Adams-Stokes attacks in nine patients with Lyme borreliosis was described. All patients had similar clinical picture: previously healthy with syncope as ...abrupt onset of the disease. Data on skin changes--erythema migrans--were obtained subsequently although the patients did not recall being bitten by a tick.

After the administered therapy (on admission atropine 0.5 mg i.v., and/or isoproterenol 0.02 mcg/kg/min, temporary pace-maker in two patients; and after proved diagnosis penicillin 20 mil. unit per day 10 days, and tetracyclin 2.0 gr per day 20 days A-V block returned to sinus rhythm with normal A-V conduction, and all biochemical parameters returned to normal limits. Perimyocarditis is not rare during Lyme borreliosis, but in this case infection syndrome is dominant.
