Molecular evidence that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 dissemination in a small Brazilian city was already taking place in the early 1990s

We recently performed a molecular epidemiology survey of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in Miracema, a small city in Southeast Brazil, and found multiple monophyletic clusters, consistent with independent introductions and spread of different viral lineages in the city. Here we apply Bayesian coalescent-based methods to the two largest subtype B clusters and estimate that the most recent common ancestors that gave rise to these two transmission chains were in circulation around 1991-1992. The finding that HIV-1 spread in this Brazilian small city was already taking place at a time Aids was considered a problem restricted to large urban centers may have important public health implications.

Confirmation of Anopheles (Anopheles) calderoni Wilkerson, 1991 (Diptera: Culicidae) in Colombia and Ecuador through molecular and morphological correlation with topotypic material

The morphologically similar taxa Anopheles calderoni, Anopheles punctimacula, Anopheles malefactor and Anopheles guarao are commonly misidentified. Isofamilies collected in Valle de Cauca, Colombia, showed morphological characters most similar to An. calderoni, a species which has never previously been reported in Colombia. Although discontinuity of the postsubcostal pale spots on the costa (C) and first radial (R1) wing veins is purportedly diagnostic for An. calderoni, the degree of overlap of the distal postsubcostal spot on C and R1 were variable in Colombian specimens (0.003-0.024). In addition, in 98.2% of larvae, seta 1-X was located off the saddle and seta 3-C had 4-7 branches in 86.7% of specimens examined. Correlation of DNA sequences of the second internal transcribed spacer and mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) barcodes (658 bp of the COI gene) generated from Colombian progeny material and wild-caught mosquitoes from Ecuador with those from the Peruvian type series of An. calderoni confirmed new country records. DNA barcodes generated for the closely related taxa, An. malefactor and An. punctimacula are also presented for the first time. Examination of museum specimens at the University of the Valle, Colombia, revealed the presence of An. calderoni in inland localities across Colombia and at elevations up to 1113 m.

Relaciones UE-Ucrania 1991-2003: Una política de reacción

El estudio revisa la evolución de los instrumentos de la acción exterior de la CE/UE hacia Ucrania desde la independencia de este país, en diciembre de 1991. Las principales conclusiones del estudio son: 1) Ucrania ha ido ascendiendo de manera lineal en la agenda de política exterior de la Unión. 2) La prioridad que ha guiado la acción exterior hacia Ucrania ha sido el mantenimiento de la estabilidad en este país para evitar las externalidades negativas que su desestabilización podría comportar para la seguridad de la Unión. 3) Aunque el interés securitario ha sido fundamental a lo largo de todo el período analizado, la agenda de seguridad de la UE se ha ampliado considerablemente. 3) La política de la UE hacia Ucrania se ha guiado más por la reacción ante los acontecimientos en el contexto europeo e internacional que por un diseño o estrategia clara hacia este país. 4) La política de vecindad intenta paliar este déficit de estrategia.
