1. O debate inesgotável: causas sociais e biológicas do colapso demográfico de populações ameríndias no século XVI
Resumo No século XX, estimativas populacionais para o hemisfério ocidental, as Américas, sobre o período que antecedeu à chegada de Colombo variaram entre dez milhões até mais de cem milhões. Essa grande discrepância é fundamental para avaliar o peso das epidemias na brusca redução demográfica que se seguiu. O fato é que houve um colapso demogr

3. Taxonomic revision of Plyomydas Wilcox & Papavero, 1971 with the description of two new species and its transfer to Mydinae (Insecta: Diptera: Mydidae)
ABSTRACT The monotypic Neotropical Mydidae genus Plyomydas Wilcox & Papavero, 1971, to date confined to coastal Peru, is reviewed. Two new species, Plyomydas adelphe sp. nov. and Plyomydas phalaros sp. nov., are described from mid-elevational western Argentina, which extends the distribution of the genus considerably. Distribution, occurrence in biodiversity

4. Coccidioidomycosis and the skin: a comprehensive review
AbstractCoccidioidomycosis is a highly prevalent disease in the Western hemisphere. It is considered one of the most virulent primary fungal infections. Coccidioides species live in arid and semi-arid regions, causing mainly pulmonary infection through inhalation of arthroconidia although many other organs can be affected. Primary inoculation is rare. Since

5. Immatures of Epilachna Chevrolat (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae, Epilachninae)
Description of the pupa and redescription of the larva of Epilachna vigintioctopunctata (Fabricius), collected for the first time on Brugmansia suaveoleus (Humb. and Bonpl. ex Willd.) Bercht. and J. Presl (Solanaceae) (trombeteiro), in the state of São Paulo (Brazil), is presented. The diagnoses of the described pupae of E. clandestina (Mulsant), E. paenula

6. Search for a platelet-activating factor receptor in the Trypanosoma cruzi proteome: a potential target for Chagas disease chemotherapy
Chagas disease (CD) causes the highest burden of parasitic diseases in the Western Hemisphere and is therefore a priority for drug research and development. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) causes the CD parasite Trypanosoma cruzi to differentiate, which suggests that the parasite may express PAF receptors. Here, we explored the T. cruzi proteome for PAF rec

7. Reconstrução da hidrografia superficial do Atlântico Sul Ocidental desde o Último Máximo Glacial a partir do estudo de foraminíferos planctônicos / Sea surface hydrography reconstruction of the Western South Atlantic since the Last Glacial Maximum based on the study of planktonic foraminifera
The goal of this thesis is to document the paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes occurred at the millennial scale since the Last Glacial Maximum at the surface Western South Atlantic. Paleotemperature, paleosalinity and paleoproductivity estimates were obtained for this purpose based on faunal changes of foraminifera assemblages, carbon and oxygen stab

8. Host plant association and genetic differentiation of corn and rice strains of Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Colombia
Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) is a polifagous insect of major economic impact in the western hemisphere and exhibits two strains (i.e., corn and rice) that are morphologically identical but differ in ecology, genetics and physiology. In this work we identified these strains and their respective hybrids by using a PCR-RFLP of the COI gene and PCR of the tande

9. Laboratorial study of tick-borne infectious agents in patients with brazilian Lyme-like disease (Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome) / Estudo laboratorial de agentes infecciosos transmitidos por carrapatos em pacientes com doença de Lyme-símile brasileira (síndrome Baggio-Yoshinari)
Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis, Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease (LD) are tick-borne diseases commonly found in the North hemisphere. In Brazil, a LD-like illness called Baggio- Yoshinari Syndrome (BYS) is described, but epidemiological, clinical and laboratorial features are different from the original

10. A CADEIA LOGÍSTICA DO MELÃO: fatores intervenientes no desenvolvimento do Agropólo Fruticultor Mossoró/Assú. / A SUPPLY CHAIN OF MELON: factors involved in the development of the Agricultural Pole horticulturalist Mossoró / Assu
This paper shows the results of a research conducted in the agropolo fruiter Mossoró/Assú. Located in the western region of Rio Grande do Nortes state, the agropolo is the Brazilian largest melon producer and exporter. The development of irrigated fruit trees in the Northeast and the growing demand for healthy and fresh foods, especially in more developed

11. Experimental infection of dogs with a Brazilian strain of Rickettsia rickettsii: clinical and laboratory findings
The bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii is the etiological agent of an acute, severe disease called Rocky Mountain spotted fever in the United States or Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) in Brazil. In addition to these two countries, the disease has also been reported to affect humans in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Argentina. Like humans, dogs are also

12. Hantaviruses as emergent zoonoses
Hantaviruses belong to the Bunyaviridae family, which consists of vector-borne viruses. These viruses can provoke two infection types: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) - which occurs in the Old World - and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) - an emergent zoonosis that can be found in many countries of the western hemisphere. Rodents are h
