#Prosena #siberita (#Tachinidae, #Diptera) is a species of #fly native to #Europe, #Asia, and Australia; it has been present in the #USA as an introduced species (#neozoon) since around 1925, as its #larvae are #parasitoids of beetles of #Scarabaeidae and were used for the #biologicalcontrol of the Japanese beetle. The #adults feed on nectar.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🥜🧫 A first-of-its-kind #trial at #Boston #Children’s Hospital tested whether fecal microbiota transplant pills could help #adults with severe #peanut #allergies.

Six of 15 participants meaningfully raised their peanut #protein tolerance, some up to 600 mg, with effects lasting at least four months. Researchers traced the benefit to specific Bacteroides #bacteria that appeared to calm immune responses, though larger placebo-controlled trials are still needed.
