A mosca-negra-dos-citros (Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby) é uma importante praga dos citros de origem asiática. Foi detectada no Brasil pela primeira vez em Belém-PA em 2001. Este trabalho tem como objetivo registrar a ocorrência de mosca-negra-dos-citros no estado do Amazonas, sua distribuição geográfica e estudos de biologia em condições de laboratório. A mosca-negra encontra-se atualmente disseminada em mais da metade dos municípios paraenses. No Amazonas foi detectada em junho de 2004 em Manaus e atualmente encontra-se disseminada em toda a área urbana deste município, ocorrendo também em Itacoatiara, Rio Preto da Eva e Iranduba. Em observações feitas em condições de laboratório em Manaus-AM, foi verificado que o ciclo de ovo-adulto foi de 71,76±2,07 dias, caracterizando como uma espécie multivoltina.

Studying thirteen speciemens of the genus Ormia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, and one of Euphasiopteryx Towsend, 1915, the author describes six new species: Ormia mendesi sp. n., Ormia lenkoi sp. n., Ormia carreirai sp. n., Ormia crespoi sp. n., Ormia wygodzinskyi sp. n., and Euphasiopteryx lenti sp. n. from Brasil and Argentina. The importance of the ocelli as a generic character, as stated by Towsend (1936) is discussed based on the absence of ocelli in Ormia mendesi sp. n. and Ormia crespoi sp. n. and its presence in Euphasiopteryx lenti sp. n. A key for the determination of Ormia species is presented based chiefly on the males external morphological characters.

A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the parasite fauna of the sciaenid Stellifer minor (Tschudi) from Chorrillos, Peru, was made. Some characteristics of the infectious processes, in terms of intensity and prevalence of infection, as a function of host sex and size, are given. Moreover, comments on the characteristics of the parasite fauna, related with host role in the marine food webs are included. The parasite fauna of Stellifer minor taken of Chorrillos, Peru, include the monogeneans Pedocotyle annakohni, Pedocotyle bravoi, Rhamnocercus sp. and Cynoscionicola sp., the digenean Helicometra fasciata, the adult acantocephalan Rhadinorhynchus sp. and the larval Corynosoma sp., the nematode Procamallanus sp., the copepods Caligus quadratus, Clavellotis dilatata and Bomolochus peruensis and one unidentified isopod of the family Cymothoidae. A distinctive characteristic of the parasite fauna (Metazoa) of S. minor is the almost absence of larval forms.

The distribution of Kudoa sciaenae cysts (Myxozoa), in terms of intensity and prevalence, in the somatic muscles of the sciaenid Stellifer minor, shows an apparent preference for the anterior body region, including the head. The observed preference seems to be a consequence of the differential distribution of muscle mass, in the defined area, because when density (cyst/g dry muscle), is considered, all the somatic areas, but not cephalic area, do no show significant differences in terms of mean intensity and prevalence.

To identify wild hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi, surveys were conducted in the subandean valleys of Jujuy Province, Argentina, between June 1986 and March 1987. Seventy two mammals from 13 different species were examined by xenodiagnosis. Fifty two of them were mostly roedents trapped at the localities of Maimará, León and Tilcara, and the remainder had been kept in captivity at the Estación Biológica Experimental, in Jujuy. Trypanosoma cruzi infection was detected only in 2 Octodontomys gliroides (2 pos./8 exam. 25%) from all 72 examined mammals. Isolates were called Octodontomys Argentina 1 and 2 (OA1 and OA2). Both infected animals were caught at the archaelogical ruin of Pucará, at Tilcara. Repeated searches for triatomines in the ruin itself and in neighbour houses rendered negative results. Groups of mice inoculated with either OA1 or OA2 isolates became infected between 7 (OA1) to 12 days (OA2) postinoculation PI. Parasitemia peaks were observed between day 12th - 14th PI. Scarce amastigote nests were found in myocardium and skeletal muscle. Mortality was observed only for mice inoculated with OA1. Isoenzyme patterns of OA1 and OA2 were identical to one found in dogs and slightly different from that of human parasites in Argentina. Bones from Octodontomys sp., were recently found in a cave, dated 10200-8600 BC, in Pumamarca, near Tilcara, Jujuy. There are evidences that O. gliroides cohabited with man in ancient times and was associated to the domestic cycle of T. cruzi transmission, playing a role like that of domestic cavies. in Bolivia.

Amblyomma dissimile is a common ectoparasite of cold blooded animals and is an accidental ectoparasite of some wild mammals. Details of the biology of specimens from the State of Amapá were studied in the laboratory in a humidity chamber at an average environmental temperature of 19.5 °C, using Bufo marinus as host for the time in Brazil. We also report the first record of this species in the State of Minas Gerais.

Amblyomma varium, commonly known in Brazil as the "carrapato-gigante-da-preguiça" (sloth's giant tick) is found from southern Central America to Argentina. The present study adds information on the geographical distribution of A. varium, as well as on their hosts, based on material deposited in the main Brazilian collections and on the available literature. Eighty-two vials, containing 191 adult specimens, deposited in five Acari collections between 1930 and 2001, were examined. These vials included data on the host and collection localities. The biology of A. varium is unknown. However it is known that, during the adult stage, the tick presents a high host specificity and is found almost exclusively on the sloths Bradypus tridactylus, B. variegatus, B.torquatus (Bradypodidae), Choloepus hoffmanni and C. didactylus (Megalonychidae). Based on the material examined, the states of Rondônia, Amazonas, Bahia and Alagoas are newly assigned to geographic distribution of A. varium in Brazil.

En este artículo pretendemos enriquecer el marco explicativo que inquiere en las razones del hiato entre el trazado ideal y la constitución efectiva del sistema público de instrucción en Argentina en el periodo que va desde la sanción de la Ley 1.420 hasta la entrada en la década de 1910. Nos interesará dejar asentado que tal distancia no dependió únicamente de las limitaciones materiales con las que se enfrentaron las autoridades escolares, o de las decisiones de los padres con respecto de la asistencia de sus hijos a la escuela, sino que la misma estuvo enraizada en un elemento más profundo, del orden de las representaciones, que desde muy temprano funcionó como un impedimento para la realización de la vocación educativa pretendidamente ecuménica de las élites argentinas. De hecho, las posturas educativas universalistas convivieron con ostras que rechazaban la posibilidad e incluso la conveniencia de que todos los niños se educaran en escuelas comunes, aparente contradicción que atravesó los discursos y las prácticas de casi todos los miembros de las élites, incluyendo los de los adalides de la "educación popular". A través del análisis y de la puesta en relación de la ley de Educación común (Ley n.1.420/1884) y la Ley de Reglamentación del Trabajo de Mujeres y Niños (Ley n.5.291/1907), exploraremos cómo se fueran estableciendo los criterios que desde temprano determinaron que "niños" podrían convertirse en alumnos, y cuáles no.

A mosca-negra-dos-citros, Aleurocanthus woglumi, apresenta elevada capacidade de dispersão e adaptação a diversas condições climáticas, além de grande potencial reprodutivo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a flutuação populacional e caracterizar o padrão de dependência espacial de A. woglumi em um pomar de lima- ácida Tahiti (Citrus latifolia, Tanaka), no município de São José de Ribamar, Estado do Maranhão. Um sistema de posicionamento global (GPS) e um sistema de informação geográfica (SIG) foram usados para localizar os pontos das amostras, caracterizar o padrão de distribuição, calcular a área de agregação e elaborar mapas de distribuição dos adultos de mosca-negra-dos-citros dentro do pomar. O número médio total de moscas negras foi maior durante a estação chuvosa e observaram-se correlações significativas entre as variáveis precipitação pluvial, umidade relativa do ar e número total de adultos. A distribuição espacial A. woglumi no pomar é agregada, ajustando-se os variogramas calculados ao modelo esférico nas estações seca e chuvosa. Os insetos mostraram uma área de agregação média de 162.092 m² na estação chuvosa e de 9.615 m² na estação seca. Para se obter uma estimativa confiável de populações de mosca-negra-dos-citros, pelo menos uma armadilha deve ser usada a cada 17 hectares na estação chuvosa e uma armadilha por hectare na estação seca.

The second half of eighteenth century is marked by the advancement of chemistry and geology. The first science acquired the law of conservation of mass and this science represented a important support to geology and mineralogy. We say that both became modern science that time. Our aim is to show up some interrelations between history of chemistry and history of geology by means of the study of Joseph Black's and James Hutton's works. We defend that it is positive to science education to understand and approach the relations among different and disciplinary areas of science.
