This study focuses on the geographic distribution of the snail of the genus Biomphalaria and evaluates its infectivity by Schistosoma mansoni in 5264 specimens collected in the municipality of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Of the 31 locations studied, 6 were reservoirs, 11 rudimentary holding ponds, 7 irrigation ditches, 5 lakes, 1 ornamental pond, and 1 waterfall. Intermediate hosts were found only in the rudimentary ponds and ditches, which were 100% positive. Using morphological and molecular analysis techniques, B. tenagophila, B. peregrina, and B. straminea were identified. This is the first report of B. stramínea in the municipality, and evaluation of its infective potential revealed susceptibility of 25.4%. Although we did not find specimens of Biomphalaria infected by S. mansoni, the data obtained indicate the presence of intermediate hosts, especially in the irrigation ditches in Juiz de Fora, and their proximity to contaminated areas.

The object of the present work was to identify the larval habitats of Culex eduardoi and to determine the microenvironmental conditions related to their presence in different artificial freshwater environments (temporary, semi-permanent, irrigation ditches, and drainage ditches) in tillable areas of Chubut Province, Argentina. This report represents the first record of Cx. eduardoi from this Province and extends its range to latitude 45°S. Immature stages of Cx. eduardoi were found in 8 out of 109 (7.3 %) freshwater habitats and were significantly more prevalent in semi-permanent water bodies. Positive sites had significantly larger surface areas and more vegetation cover than negative sites.

Using numerical simulations we investigate shapes of random equilateral open and closed chains, one of the simplest models of freely fluctuating polymers in a solution. We are interested in the 3D density distribution of the modeled polymers where the polymers have been aligned with respect to their three principal axes of inertia. This type of approach was pioneered by Theodorou and Suter in 1985. While individual configurations of the modeled polymers are almost always nonsymmetric, the approach of Theodorou and Suter results in cumulative shapes that are highly symmetric. By taking advantage of asymmetries within the individual configurations, we modify the procedure of aligning independent configurations in a way that shows their asymmetry. This approach reveals, for example, that the 3D density distribution for linear polymers has a bean shape predicted theoretically by Kuhn. The symmetry-breaking approach reveals complementary information to the traditional, symmetrical, 3D density distributions originally introduced by Theodorou and Suter.

An extensive malacological survey was carried out between 2005-2009 in order to clarify the exact number of lymnaeid species which may be intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica in Venezuela. Four species were discovered during this survey, including two local species: Lymnaea cubensis and Lymnaea cousini and two exotic species: Lymnaea truncatula and Lymnaea columella. The most common local species was L. cubensis which was found at 16 out of the 298 sampling sites. This species has a large distribution area throughout the Northern part of Venezuela and was encountered from sea level to an altitude of 1,802 m in state of Trujillo. The second local species L. cousini was collected at only two sites of the Andean Region at altitudes of 3,550 m and 4,040 m, respectively. The European L. truncatula was found at 24 sites all located in the states of Mérida and Táchira at an altitude varying between 1,540-4,000 m. The respective distribution areas of L. cubensis and L. truncatula do not appear to overlap, but more detailed malacological surveys are needed. The fourth lymnaeid species, L. columella was collected in a canal from Mérida at an altitude of 1,929 m and in an irrigation canal from the state of Guárico, at an altitude of 63 m. The role of these four lymnaeid species in the transmission of fascioliasis in Venezuela is discussed.

L’objectiu d’aquest article és fer una aproximació al procés històric de creació dels anomenats “paisatges de l’aigua” a la plana de l’Alt Empordà. En primer lloc, es presenten els principals elements que configuren els paisatges de l’aigua a la plana (els rius, les rieres, els aiguamolls, els estanys, les sèquies, canals de regadiu, etc.). A continuació, s’analitza el procés històric de creació dels paisatges de l’aigua a la plana de l’Alt Empordà a través d’un discurs que s’ha simplificat en dues grans etapes: una llarga etapa caracteritzada per la lluita mantinguda per la societat altempordanesa contra l’aigua i, una segona etapa, molt més recent, on els esforços d’aquesta societat es concentren en l’obtenció d’aquesta aigua. Per últim, s’analitza en detall aquest procés a partir del cas concret del paisatge configurat per les closes

El projecte efectua la descripció i càlcul de les instal·lacions d'una nau magatzem per a un club de golf, així com l’automatització del reg i adobament de la gespa per tal d’optimitzar els recursos hídrics. La part de les instal·lacions s’ha separat en cinc blocs en els quals s’ha efectuat una descripció de les característiques de les diferents instal·lacions, el càlcul de línies elèctriques, dimensionament dels equips, col·lectors i distàncies, complint els objectius inicials i la reglamentació vigent. Pel que fa l’automatització del procés, s’han complert els objectius d’optimitzar els recursos hídrics de què disposava el club, aprofitant al màxim les aigües pluvials recollides i permetent la fertilització de la gespa, de manera homogènia a tot el camp
