Located in the most emblematic building of Santurtzi’s maritime history
the Santurtzi Itsas Museoa Interpretation Center aims to showcase the deep connection between Santurtzi and the sea in all its aspects—professional
and social—while highlighting that much of the maritime heritage resides in its people
visitors can explore this bond from 1600 to the present day
The museum reveals the crucial role of “lemanes” (pilots) in helping ships navigate the feared sandbar
which once made entry and exit from the Bilbao Estuary extremely difficult
as well as the solution to this serious navigation problem
The exhibition also delves into the fascinating world of corsairs and pirates
the exploits of a famous 16th-century smuggler from Santurtzi
and the long-standing tradition of traineras (fishing boats) in the town
special recognition is given to one of Santurtzi’s most iconic figures: the sardine sellers
These sharp-witted women were always on alert for the arrival of fishing boats and walked along the estuary selling their fresh catch—sometimes reaching distant towns such as Plentzia and Balmaseda
Santurtzi Itsas Museoa offers a variety of activities and experiences
which conclude with a traditional-style fish auction

Stage 6: Jonas Vingegaard tamed a potentially treacherous final day of Itzulia Basque Country, sealing the overall title with a long-range solo stage victory
Data powered by FirstCycling
25 June 2021 – Spain is the first European country to have implemented the UNODC Line Up Live Up curriculum on life skills through sport and, since 2019 when the project was launched in the city of Santurtzi
it has formed part of a comprehensive partnership between local educational
Strengthening valuable life skills among youth, and preventing drug use and engagement in crime, are the key goals of the programme. Recently, the School Council of the Basque Country officially recognized the value of Line Up Live Up in promoting drug use prevention
and seeking to achieve developmental goals in an innovative way
spoke on the value of the different aspects of the programme
in particular “the search for transversal competences for life
which students will achieve through sports
especially in the area of drug addiction prevention.” The Mayor of Santurtzi
thanked the Euskadi School Council for the recognition and extended the award to all those involved in the project – students
teachers and families – without whose collaboration the work could not be carried out
cross-sector collaboration is a major factor behind the success of the initiative in Santurtzi
Addiction Prevention Expert of the City Council
expressed appreciation for the participation of the Parents Association of the Axular Institute when involving families in the development of the programme
Line Up Live Up was implemented with 110 students in two public schools
with the committed engagement of physical education teachers
school counsellors and parent associations
Despite the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic
which led to the temporary suspension of the programme
youth successfully completed the programme and took part in a certification ceremony
Learning from this innovative experience and contributing to the evidence of what works to prevent youth crime and violence is central both for UNODC and to the city of Santurtzi
in partnership with the local university and research institutions
will conduct a mid-term evaluation at the end of 2021 and an impact study in 2023
These studies will aim to assess how the programme was implemented and what the effects of have been on the knowledge
attitudes and behaviour of participating youth

Race leader escapes with Landa and gains more time and bonus sprint
The Tour de France winner broke away with Landa on the late La Asturiana climb and then they dived down the descent together
enough to survive until the finish in Santurtzi
Vingegaard lead Landa into the final corner and then sprinted to the line to win the stage
There were no gifts to his Basque breakaway companion as Vingegaard wanted to win and take maximum bonus seconds
Matteo Sobrero (Jayco-Alula) brought home the chase group
eventually finishing just two seconds down
but Vingegaard extended his overall lead to 12 seconds on Landa and 31 seconds on David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ)
people were attacking and so I decided to try myself
Mikel Landa came with me and then we worked together
They came close in the end but I was still able to win the sprint
Vingegaard appears in control of the Basque stage race but was still cautious about his overall chance of victory
We would have liked to have the 30-second lead we had at one point but that's bike racing," he explained of the GC fight
I took three other bonus seconds during the stage and they could be valuable in the end."
The early part of the stage headed out of the coastal town of Santurtzi near Bilbao and inland through the hills of the Basque Country
with the riders averaging nearly 50 km/h in the first hour
The peloton finally let a break the day form after 40km when Harm Vanhoucke (Team DSM)
Alan Jousseaume (TotalEnergies) and mountains classification leader Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) got away
Barrenetxea was interested in scoring points on the series of third category climbs that filled the stage profile
The peloton was happy to let him and his comrades go clear and at one point the gap rose to 6:35
making Vanhoucke the virtual leader on the road
Ineos Grenadiers were clearly on the hunt for a stage win
with Jayco-AIUIa also keen to see if they could secure a result
On the long ride back from the hills of the southern Basque Country towards the coast
the five rider's lead began to plummet as the terrain hurt
Barrenetxea grabbed another few points on a last third category climb
and on the first time through the finish area at Santurtzi Tesfatsion grabbed some points
But it was clear the break was doomed as Jayco-Alula also worked hard on the front to set-up Simon Yates
A crash saw several go down with 40 km to go and soon after Jumbo-Visma confirmed that Rohan Dennis had abandoned
just in time for the overall contenders to contest an intermediate sprint
Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) kicked hard but Vingegaard was aggressive too and managed to beat the Basque rider to the line
with EF Education-EasyPost going on the front on the steepest early gradients
Soon after Rigoberto Uran tried an attack and then Richard Carapaz tried a dig
Vingegaard was not happy and responded and then attacked himself to draw out his rivals with five kilometres to climb and 20 km to race
Only Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) was able to go with him
as everyone else formed a desperate chase group
Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) and Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) were there with others joining on the descent
helter-skelter descent proved as important as the climb but Vingegaard and Landa took turns on the front
took some risks and maintained a gap of 25 seconds on the hairpins down to Santurtzi
They worked together on the flat ride to the finish to stay away
with no apparent deal on who would win the stage
The chasers closed the gap to a handful of seconds and could see Vingegaard and Landa but they couldn't catch them
Vingegaard carefully pinned Landa close to the barriers as he opened his sprint and so won by a bike length

The peloton rolls out of Santurtzi at the start of stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
Mikel Landa heads for the stage 4 start of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
The five rider break of the day on stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
Race leader Jonas Vingegaard during stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
Jonas Vingegaard and Mikel Landa on the attack in the finale of stage 4 of the Itzulia Basque Country
All the action from day 4 of the ultra-hilly stage race
- Stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country starts and finishes in the town of Santurtzi after 175.7 kilometres of racing
- A typically hilly course culminates with an ascent of the second category La Asturiana climb and a fast drop down to the finish
five riders had a lead of over six minutes on the peloton: Harm Vanhoucke (DSM)
Alan Jousseaume (Total Energies) and Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA)
But the break were then caught before the final climb of La Asturiana
- Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) went on the attack on La Asturiana
with Vingegaard claiming the stage win and boosting his lead overall
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
Racing will get underway in about 10 minutes time on this 175.5 kilometre stage starting and finishing in Santurtzi
a dormitory town for the nearby city of Bilbao
Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) is in the lead
and the probably definitive ascent of La Asturiana and final drop down back to Santurtzi
The riders are now rolling through the neutralized section
The weather is a balmy 18 degrees and sunny
No sign of the rain that so often affects this race
Here's the results from Wednesday's stage and the overall rankings as they currently stand
In the other rankings we have Alex Aranburu (Movistar) in the points lead
Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) heads the mountains classification
Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) is currently ranked Best Young Rider and Movistar are on top of the teams ranking.
And racing is now underway for stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
The 2021 stage won by Aranburu also concluded with an ascent of La Asturiana
and drop back down to the Bilbao coastline
If a lot of people are following Aranburu's wheel on the final climb
Reports of two non-starters but to be confirmed: Cristian Scaroni (Astana Qazaqstan) and Jesus Ezquerra (Burgos-BH)
including mountains leader Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA)
An 50 kmh average speed for the first 14 kilometres: if anybody wanted to pick up some extra race food from the teamcar or drop off some kit in the fast-rising temperatures
Unlike Wednesday's early run along the Basque coast
today the peloton's heading south-west and inland through the hills that line three sides of the coastal city of Bilbao and its industrial hinterland
Three riders have a small gap: Joel Nicolau (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA)
Joan Bou (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies)
was already in the break of the day on Wednesday
No dice: despite Andrey Amador (EF Education-EasyPost)
Robert Stannard (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and another stage 3 breakaway
Nicolas Prodhomme (AG2R Citroen) joining the three ahead
Some words from race leader Jonas Vingegaard at the start today: "I'm excited to be in yellow
very happy about yesterday but today's another day
it's a hard race and you have to do that."
Another small breakaway manages to get a gap of around 20 seconds
Alan Jousseaume (Total Energies) and for a second time today
And the five breakaways are now at the foot of the first climb of the day
And here's a shot of the riders in the neutralized section of today's start/finish town of Santurtzi
That sunny weather we mentioned before was no lie
And here's a picture of Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) at today's start
Landa placed second behind Jonas Vingegaard on the stage 3 finish and is currently the best placed of Vingegaard's rivals
Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) claims top points on the summit of the Malkuartu to further buttress his lead in the mountains ranking
And although Caicedo apparently struggled on that 3rd cat climb
he managed to get back into the break of five as they come off the Malkuartu and so we have five riders ahead: Caicedo
Alan Jousseaume (Total Energies) and KoM leader Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA)
The bunch has let these five go and we have our break of the day: 1:35 the gap
Unconfirmed reports of a third non-starter today
Netherlands rider Oscar Riesebeek (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
The advantage for our five men out in front is soaring at a rate of knots: 2:40 the current gap
And the gap continues to rise for the five breakaways
Jumbo-Visma and Bahrain Victorious pick up the pace in the bunch
The race has now reached its most southerly point of a long loop out and back from the start/finish town of Santurtzi and having passed by the foot of the Orduna pass
one of the most famous in the Basque Country (though not climbed this year) and ridden west for a few kilometres
the peloton is heading back north towards the coast again
the biggest margin the five leaders have had so far
And here is an image of the day's breakaway
Less than 40 seconds higher and Harm Vanhoucke (DSM)
the best placed of the quintet on GC by far
6:22 behind yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) will be race leader on the road
We're at the foot of the second of the four classified climbs of the day: the Santa Coloma a two kilometre third cat
The gap for the five riders ahead is dropping a little: 5:30
Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) adds another three points to his KoM classification lead at the top of the Santa Coloma
Second across the summit was Alan Jousseaume (Total Energies) and third Harm Vanhoucke (DSM)
For those seeking more information on Itzulia Basque Country stage 4 breakaway Natnael Tesfatsion
Cyclingnews interviewed the Eritrean climber back in December.
Meet Natnael Tesfatsion, Trek-Segafredo's new Eritrean climber
Here's a photo of race leader Jonas Vingegaard during today's stage
The gap for the five ahead has increased to 6:33
Harm Vanhoucke (DSM) is now race leader on the road
We're getting to the point where you have to wonder if the break will go all the way
A gap of over six minutes with 80 kilometres left is not a small one
and for Jumbo-Visma and race leader Jonas Vingegaard the big advantage is that the break will soak up all the time bonuses from the intermediate sprints and the finish
With 29 riders at a minute or less on GC behind Vingegaard
Ten kilometres further on and the gap is sticking at 6:35
The third of our trio of third category climbs is fast approaching: the Bezi: 3.8km at 6 percent
Luke Plapp (Ineos Grenadiers) leads the string in the pack
The effort by Ineos Grenadiers is having an effect and the gap has shrunk to 5:30
Vanhoucke's spell as race leader on the road is over
The top of the Bezi is considerably easier than its lower slopes (which weren't overly hard either) and there are no attacks as Barrenetxea rolls through the top and snaps up another three points for the mountains classification
he'll be in the lead by the end of the stage for a fourth straight day
They have five riders on the front of the bunch and the gap is now down to 4:35
smooth descent off the Bezi with sweeping corners
Key points for the remainder of the stage are two intermediate sprints
the first at Santurtzi (km 131.4) and the next at Larigada (km 148.7)
Then we've got the main feature of the day
the second category La Asturiana (km160.9): 7.4km at 6.5 percent
The five race leaders reach the bottom of the long descent off the Bezi and almost immediately the road begins to rise again
More teams coming to the fore in the bunch as well as the hunt for the five ahead is truly on: Astana Qazaqstan
Bahrain Victorious and Groupama-FDJ are all present in numbers
The break have 3:53 on the bunch as the main peloton sweeps through and out of the town of Muskiz
Felix Grosschartner (UAE Team Emirates) is one of the heavier fallers
Thibaut Guernalec (Arkea-Samsic) and Gijs Leemreize (Jumbo-Visma) also reported to have fallen in that crash
The gap is now 3:00 and dropping for the five riders ahead: Harm Vanhoucke (DSM)
The five leaders are in the finish town of Santurtzi
passing through the finish area before tackling the last loop of the day
Jayco-AIUIa have taken over from Ineos Grenadiers on a slight rise out of Santurtzi and back into the hills
Ineos Grenadiers come back to support Jayco-AIUIa again and the gap drops to under two minutes
At this rate the break will be lucky to make it to the foot of La Asturiana ahead
Grosschartner is back up and running after that crash
but he's got a lot of rips in his kit and some road grime as well.
Stage 1 winner Ethan Hayter puts his shoulder to the wheel for Ineos Grenadiers on the front of the bunch
Tesfatsion took the three seconds and maximum points in the intermediate sprint at Santurtzi
with Jousseaume and Barrenetxea in second and third
The race has reached the coast again and the gap is down to 1:07 on the approach to the second intermediate sprint
Jumbo-Visma's Twitter account says that Rohan Dennis has abandoned the race
🇪🇸 #Itzulia2023Unfortunately, Rohan Dennis has left the race due to a crash. ☹️ He will undergo some examinations and we will provide an update on his condition as soon as possible. 🙏April 6, 2023
The gap for the five is down to 18 seconds
Luke Plapp (ineos Grenadiers) drives hard and the bunch can see the break ahead on a short climb
Barrenetxea has lost contact with the break
Caicedo has also gone from the break as they approach the hot spot sprint of the day
The break is back and the GC leaders are going for the sprint
we're now approaching the final climb of the day
Jayco-AIUIa are on the front along with Arkea-Samsic
speeding through a town towards the foot of the climb
Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost) is looking very good on the front of the pack
Chaves teammate Richard Carapaz is right behind him in second spot
but relatively well-surfaced as they head steadily upwards through some dense woodland
More EF Education-EasyPost riders are now leading the string
After a long turn by former Vuelta a España leader Odd Christian Elking
EF teammate RIgoberto Urán moves to the head.
Vingegaard looks back and sees Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) trying to surge across
The top two riders on GC are leading the race
Landa and Vingegaard are opening up a gap and working together on La Asturiana
The Dane has eight seconds advantage on Landa on GC after snatching a three second time bonus earlier on today
Enric Mas (Movistar) is trying to close the gap on Vingegaard and Landa
but it looks like he's got a fight on his hands.
Vingegaard and Landa have a gap of around 200 metres
as the road narrows a little and eases slightly after the steepest early sections
Five riders in a chase group behind Landa and Vingegaard: Sergio Higuita (Bora-Hansgrohe)
Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) and Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo)
More riders are joining them from behind.
Two kilometres from the summit and the two stage (and GC) leaders have 30 seconds on a group of some 20 riders
McNulty and Skjelmose try to counterattack with James Knox (Soudal-QuickStep)
Vingegaard is doing most of the work ahead now
sweep along the notably easier gradient towards the wooded summit of La Asturiana and across the summit with 25 seconds advantage.
Landa comes through on the early part of the descent
but thankfully dry and not overly twisty so far
A flick of the elbow from Vingegaard and Landa comes through on the fast
30 second gap for the two ahead as they pass through a seriously technical section in a small town
Thankfully the leaders are back onto a broader road and they've got a short climb ahead before the final drop down into Santurtzi
Knox is driving hard behind now as he tries to whip the pursuit into some kind of organised chase
But so far the gap is holding at around 30 seconds
and Landa leads Vingegaard through one of many hairpins
Mattia Cattaneo and his Soudal-QuickStep teammate Knox are leading a group of around 20 chasers
But for now it's advantage Vingegaard and Landa
Landa and Vingegaard are still speeding down the descent into Santurtzi while behind the pursuit is looking a fraction more committed
Landa's back wheel wobbled a bit on a tricky corner
The two have a gap of 25 seconds as they hit Santurtzi
Much flatter terrain now and even a slight kick-up
but Landa and Vingegaard are still collaborating smoothly
but too slowly for the two to be caught for now
And the gap drops to 12 seconds as they power through Santurtzi
Vingegaard leads Landa towards the final kilometre sign
it's going to be a two-up sprint for the stage
The two are looking back and playing cat and mouse
But the gap is big enough for now to stay away
Vingegaard leads out the sprint and gets the win by a tiny margin over Landa
The chasing group is only a few metres behind
Jonas Vingegaard wins stage 4 of the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country
who's strengthened his overall lead over the Basque as well
Vingegaard was challenged by Landa all the way to the line
but he held off Landa by enough for the stage win by a bike length
Mauro Schmid (Soudal-QuickStep) claimed third on the stage
two seconds back behind Landa and Vingegaard
That's his second stage podium finish in Itzulia after taking second on the opening day behind Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers)
Vingegaard has now more than doubled his lead on Landa
and has a 12 second advantage on his closest rival
the 2023 Itzulia Basque Country looks to be Vingegaard's to lose now
this is the Itzulia Basque Country and it is famous for remaining on a knife-edge right up until the last minute
as Vingegaard pointed out before the stage
He's rarely one to beat around the bush and on this occasion he certainly doesn't: "I tried to stay coldblooded about it all
but then I was just lacking a little bit in the finale." Discussing the climb when Vingegaard attacked
"I knew I had to get on Vingegaard's wheel when he went and then it was basically all I could do to hold onto him."
And here's a photo of our two men of the moment on the decisive La Asturiana climb..
And here's a photo of Vingegaard crossing the line to claim his second stage of the 2023 race
Vingegaard has ousted Alex Aranburu (Movistar) to move atop of the points classification
Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) remains atop the mountains ranking
and Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) is likewise still ahead in the Best Young Rider competition
Soudal-QuickStep have taken over from Movistar as Best Team of the race
stage 5 of the 2020 Itzulia Basque Country on Friday is another circuit
starting and finishing in the town of Amorebieta-Etxano
it’s got a lumpy profile with several second and third categories
but the key moment of the stage will likely be the three short
the last peaking out with some five kilometres to go and preceding a fast drop down to the finish
For Cyclingnews' full report on the day's proceedings at Itzulia Basque Country, the link is here: Itzulia Basque Country: Vingegaard makes it two in a row on stage 4
And that's all for today from Itzulia Basque Country
Stage 5 will be covered live here again on Friday.
After terminating his contract with Al Masry
Palastine international defender Yaser Hamed has joined Qatar Stars League side Al-Rayyan
Hamed made his first move outside of Spain when he join Bahrain’s Busaiteen Club; however
he left the club and had become a free agent
Despite being without a club, Hamed impressed on the international stage in the World Cup qualifiers in which he scored three goals
where he played every minute of The Fedayeen’s campaign
joining Egyptian Premier League side Al Masry where he played 16 games and scored three goals
Hamed decided to unilaterally terminate his contract with the Greens
which led the club to take legal action against him
the Palestinian defender still managed to attract the interest of Qatari giants Al-Rayyan
Hamed become the club’s first summer signing and he will be expected to replace Shoja Khalilzadeh
who had left for league rivals Al Ahli on a free recently
A challenging week in the hills from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Eibar
in 2023 the region's capital Vitoria-Gasteiz will host the race's Grand Depart for the first time kicking off the 165.4km opener to Labastida to the south.
the first of them is the most sprinter-friendly of the lot
though even here there's an uphill run to the line
it's a (relatively) gentle introduction to six days of hard and hilly racing
measuring in at 193.8km with five climbs along the way from Viana to Leitza in the east of the region
and Saldas (second) lie on the road prior to a second ascent of Arkiskil from the east (11.km at 3.2%) and a 5km descent into Leitza – perfect for late attacks
The third stage of the race from Errenteria to Vilabona straddles the Gipuzkoa coast and circles around Donostia before heading south
steep climbs lining the latter half of the 153.9km stage
With a cluster of third-category classified climbs including Meagas
and a steep uphill finish (with a final kilometre at 9.4%)
Santurtzi hosts the start and finish of stage 4
with a big looping route to the south of the city taking in yet more hills along the 175.7km stage
and Bezi precede the finale at the second-category La Asturiana (7.4km at 6.5%)
The race heads east again for the penultimate stage starting and finishing in Amorebieta and four more categorized hills to add to the list
Weary riders will battle over 165.9km of road with barely a flat kilometre all day
Even if the final day of the race around Eibar is the shortest at 137.8km
featuring three first-category climbs among seven classified ascents
Riders will start the day with the third-category Elkorrieta before moving on to Azurki (5.1km at 7.4%) and Gorla (9.6km at 5.7%)
The mid-stage Krabelin (5km at 9.6%) is the toughest climb of the race
while the third-cat Trabakua also averages 7.1%
26km from the line is the last first-category test of the day
though a final climb of Urkaregi (5km at 4.8%) presents a final challenge 12km out
with an uphill drag to the finish in the town of Eibar rounding out the race
Dani has reported from the world's top races
She has interviewed many of the sport's biggest stars
and her favourite races are the Giro d'Italia
In the Iberian peninsula there are around 1,400 documented spider species
Only three of them are capable of inflicting serious clinical conditions with their bite
It is very rare for the two most venomous types to come into contact with humans
These are the European black widow and the Iberian black widow
it's a different situation with the third species
popularly known as the violin spider or Mediterranean recluse spider
The enzymes in its venom are capable of causing necrosis (tissue death) in the area of the bite
it's essential that the affected person receives medical attention
a bite from one of these spiders has been reported
there were three separate bites on the same person in their home in Santurtzi
According to a scientific article published this month in the journal of the Spanish Society of Environmental Health (SESA)
the events took place between May and September 2023
noticed that he had been bitten by an insect on the inside of his left forearm on 17 May of last year
Four days later he went to his GP with pain and pus accumulation in the area
The abscess reached a diameter of two centimetres
the man needed to go to the hospital twice as the condition did not improve with antibiotics
both in the primary care consultation and in the emergency department
he was diagnosed with a compatible cutaneous necrotic syndrome due to a bite from the Mediterranean recluse spider
as stated in the scientific article signed by Mikel Alexander González
the patient searched among the pots on his balcony and
after spraying the plants with insecticide
claimed that two spiders emerged whose description matched that of this species
González stresses that it is very unusual for spiders to bite
He says that on most occasions the bites that people attribute to these arachnids have been caused by other insects
not least because they don't feed on blood
it is usually by accident and the bite is only dangerous in very few cases," explains the expert
their bites often go unnoticed and the person affected has no symptoms or only a slight itch
But there are people who suffer from a characteristic clinical condition called loxoscelism
12 accredited cases of poisoning caused by the violin spider have been reported in Spain
The article signed by González reports four more
including the case of the man from the Basque Country
despite the widespread presence of this spider
supports the experts' view that "it is not an aggressive species" and they insist that its bite is accidental
long-legged and measures up to four centimetres
Another of its characteristics is that instead of 8 eyes
It is called a violin because of the way it looks when viewed from above
Although it is thought to be African in origin
it has invasive tendencies and is widespread throughout the Mediterranean
González points out that it may have been through boxes that it has spread
The article underscores the importance of raising awareness among the population and urging authorities to include this spider in urban pest surveillance and control programs
as it poses "a public health issue affecting both private and public domains."

March 30 - In what can be termed as a perfect case of gender-bender among fish
biologists have found evidence of "feminisation" of male fish in the estuaries in the Basque coast of Spain
Pollutants acting as oestrogens are responsible for this phenomenon which
is causing ovocytes -- immature ova -- to appear in male fish
The acquisition of feminine features by male fish has been detected
to a greater or lesser extent in all the estuaries -- not only in the characteristics of the gonads of the specimens analysed but also in various molecular markers
"The results show that endocrine disruption is a phenomenon that has spread all over our estuaries
we have a problem with pollutants," explained Miren P
director of the group of Cell Biology in Environmental Toxicology at the University of the Basque Country
The team has conducted research using thick-lipped grey mullet and has analysed specimens in seven zones in coastal Spain -- Arriluze
The results of the research were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment and Marine Environmental Research
