The document presented a case report of a patient with both white piedra, caused by Trichosporon inkin, and pediculosis capitis, caused by Pediculus humanus var. capitis, highlighting the clinical differences between these conditions. Additionally, it included a study on 20 honeybee queens with the "limão" mutation, examining ultrastructural differences in their eyes using transmission electron microscopy, which affected eye pigmentation and structure, potentially leading to visual deficiencies and behavioral changes.
