This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Plan of the city of Charlestown, by Felton & Parker [and] Ebenr. Barker. It was published by J.H. Bufford's Lithogy. in 1848. Scale [1:4,800]. Covers the populated place Charlestown (Boston, Massachusetts) and also parts of Somerville, Cambridge, Boston, and East Boston. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, railroads, drainage, wharves, public buildings, schools, churches, cemeteries, city ward boundaries and more. It also includes an index to points of interest.

O Brasil, os imigrantes italianos e a política externa fascista, 1922-1943

O artigo busca delimitar os objetivos da Itália fascista no Brasil e fazer um balanço das relações entre os dois países no período entre as duas guerras. O argumento central gira em torno da política migratória italiana e da aproximação dos agentes e agências fascistas no Brasil aos imigrantes de origem italiana e seus descendentes.

Anomalias em conchas de Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848), criadas em laboratório. (Pulmonata, Planorbidae)

Assinala-se o encontro de anomalias em conchas de 90 espécimens de Biomphalaria straminea, traduzidas por acentuada deformação da última espiral. Os exemplares pertencem à população criada em laboratório e procedente de Curvelo, Minas Gerais, Brasil.

Suscetibilidade de Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848) de Piripiri (Piauí, Brasil) a duas cepas de Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907

A suscetibilidade de exemplares de B. straminea descendentes de uma amostra originária do município de Piripiri (Piauí, Brasil), foi testada face a duas cepas de Schistosoma mansoni: "LE" (Belo Horizonte) e "SJ" (São José dos Campos). Verificou-se que a cepa "SJ" infectou 12,5 (8) dos exemplares sobreviventes de B. straminea e 63,6% (14) de B. glabrata usadas como controle. Quando exposta à cepa "LE" do trematódeo, B. straminea mostrou-se refratária, enquanto 84,0% (42) dos exemplares de B. glabrata utilizadas como controle encontravam-se positivas para o S. mansoni. Foram discutidos aspectos relacionados a suscetibilidade de B. straminea e a importância dos resultados obtidos.

First register of Biomphalaria straminea Dunker, 1848, in Santa Catarina State

The first register of Biomphalaria straminea, vector species of schistosomiasis, in Santa Catarina State, South Brazil is described. The specimens were obtained from two ornamental aquaria of private residences. In both cases the ornamental plants and/or fishes were bought from the same supplier. The presence of this species was later confirmed in the farm where these plants and fishes are cultivated, in the city of Governador Celso Ramos, also in Santa Catarina State. The occurrence in natural environments was later detected in two different places of the Island of Santa Catarina.

Comparative study of the fecundity and fertility of Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818) and Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848) in a laboratory through self-fertilization and cross-fertilization

The aim of this study was to compare the fecundity and fertility of B. glabrata and B. straminea by cross- and self-fertilization. To attain this objective, laboratory-raised strains of B. glabrata and B. straminea were used. The former originated from natural breeding grounds in the municipality Paulista, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The latter originated from irrigation ditches in the municipality of Petrolândia, in the same state. Snail populations of B. glabrata and B. straminea were maintained for 240 days in laboratory. Their fecundity was evaluated by noting the number of egg-masses, eggs and eggs per mass. Their fertility was evaluated by the number of viable eggs and the hatching rate. B. straminea was markedly more fecund than B. glabrata through cross- and self-fertilization, namely: greater egg-mass; higher egg production and more eggs per mass. Regarding fertility, there seemed to be no preferential period for occlusion to occur or a trend in the rhythm of producing viable eggs.
