Sombreamento dos cafezais: III - Resultados do 5º biênio (1961/1962)

This paper deals with data obtained in 1961 and 1962 in shaded and unshaded coffee plots at Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The results can be summarized as follows: a - the production, in shaded and unshaded plots, did not show differences statistically significant; b - the percentage of coffee berry borer infestation was higher in shaded plots as compared with unshaded ones; c - coffee fruits brought from the field in the harvest time yielding up in sunshaded plots as compared with shaded ones.

Sombreamento dos cafezais V: resultados de mais dois bienios: 1967/1968 - 1970/1971

Os dados obtidos durante os anos de 1967 a 1971 (2 biênios: 1967/1968 e 1670/1971) no cafèzal da E.S.A. "Luiz de Queiroz", parte sombreada e parte a pleno sol, foram estudados no presente trabalho, complementando aqueles de sete biênios já descritos em trabalhos anteriores. Os resultados obtidos, analisados estatisticamente em relação à produção, porcentagem de broca, porcentagem de frutos verdes, de maduros e de sêcos, rendimento de café da roça, relação café beneficiado/café coco e peneira média, permitiram as conclusões seguintes, principalmente em relação aos biênios estudados: a. o lote sombreado, em relação a um dos lotes não sombreado, apresentou diferenças significativas quanto à produção, em favor para o sombreado; isso se deve provavelmente ao fato de as plantas de sombra estarem agora em decadência com muitas árvores mortas, favorecendo o lote sombreado pela luz e pela matéria orgânica acumulada; b. a porcentagem de broca continuou a ser, em geral, sempre maior nos lotes sombreados; c. as porcentagens de frutos verdes, de maduros e de sêcos dependem, em geral, do ano e da época da colheita.

Descrição das fases imaturas do Phlebotomus bahiensis Mangabeira & Sherlock, 1961: (Diptera, Psychodidae)

The authors describe the egg, larva and pupa of P. bahiensis Mangabeira & Sherlock, 1961, from material collected in Salvador, Bahia. As it was oberved, they do not present any morphological characteristic that would separate them from other species. The Authors call attention for the presence of an anomalous cerda in the larva.

Poliomyelitis: epidemiological aspects in Rio de Janeiro (Guanabara State) and adjacent areas in the period from 1961 to 1970

Based on the available data from the Hospital responsible for the care of paralitic poliomyelitis cases in Rio de Janeiro City (Guanabara State) and adjacent areas, and the laboratory studies carried out on these patients, the authors analize epidemiological aspects of poliomyelitis in a period of ten years (1961 to 1970). Paralitic poliomyelitis remains a public health problem, with a typical incidence in the less than 4 year age group. All three poliovirus types have been prevalent for at least one period of time during the last ten years. Trivalent oral vaccine has been used since 1961 but the vaccination levels achieved were not enough to a permanent control of the disease. A definite seasonal distribution of cases could not be observed with the available data. Active mass campaign vaccinations with previous motivation of all segments of the population, specially the low-income groups instead of passive waiting of children in Vaccination Centers seems to be the best aproach to control poliomyelitis in this area.

Ultrastructure of Endogenous Stages of Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae Yakimoff & Rastegaieff, 1930 Emend. Levine, 1961 in Experimentally Infected Goat

The ultrastructure of endogenous stages of Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae was observed in epithelial cells of cecum and colon crypts from a goat experimentally infected with 2.0 x 105 oocysts/kg. The secondary meronts developed above the nucleus of the host cell. The nucleus first divides and merozoites then form on the surface of multinucleated meronts. Free merozoites in the parasitophorous vacuole present a conoid, double membrane, one pair of rhoptries, micronemes, micropore, anterior and posterior polar ring, a nucleus with a nucleolus and peripheral chromatin. The microgamonts are located below the nucleus of the host cell and contain several nuclei at the periphery of the parasite. The microgametes consist of a body, a nucleus, three flagella and mitochondria. The macrogamonts develop below the nucleus of the host cell and have a large nucleus with a prominent nucleolus. The macrogametes contain a nucleus, wall-forming bodies of type I and type II. The young oocysts present a wall containing two layers and a sporont
