Leino, Kasimir

Kasimir Leino eg. Kasimir Agathon Lönnbohm f. 17.11.1866 i Paltamo d. 8.3.1919 i Helsingfors Kasimir Leino var en känd kulturpåverkare, verksam som författare, litteratur- och konstkritiker, forskare samt teaterdirektör. Leinos lyrik har ofta hamnat i skuggan av hans brors, Eino Leinos diktargärning. Kasimir Leinos arbete hade emellertid också ett betydelsefullt inflytande på broderns produktion. Han var en pionjär inom symbolismen och därtill aktiv som översättare av europeisk litteratur. Leino utgav fyra diktsamlingar som innehöll realistisk programdikt och centrallyrik, episka och historiska dikter, samt även satir. Leinos noveller och berättelser följer det realistiska programmets ideal. I skiftet mellan 1800- och 1900-talet övergick Leino till dramatiken och gav ut två omfattande dramer Jaakko Ilkka ja Klaus Flemming (sv. Jakob Ilkka och Klas Flemming) från 1901 samt Lehtolapsi från 1905. http://www.kansallisbiografia.fi/kb/artikkeli/3527/

Report of the equine herpesvirus-1 Havermeyer Workshop, San Gimignano, Tuscany, June 2004

Amongst the infectious diseases that threaten equine health, herpesviral infections remain a world wide cause of serious morbidity and mortality. Equine herpesvirus-1 infection is the most important pathogen, causing an array of disorders including epidemic respiratory disease abortion, neonatal foal death, myeloencephalopathy and chorioretinopathy. Despite intense scientific investigation, extensive use of vaccination, and established codes of practice for control of disease outbreaks, infection and disease remain common. While equine herpesvirus-1 infection remains a daunting challenge for immunoprophylaxis, many critical advances in equine immunology have resulted in studies of this virus, particularly related to MHC-restricted cytotoxicity in the horse. A workshop was convened in San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy in June 2004, to bring together clinical and basic researchers in the field of equine herpesvirus-1 study to discuss the latest advances and future prospects for improving our under-standing of these diseases, and equine immunity to herpesviral infection. This report highlights the new information that was the focus of this workshop, and is intended to summarize this material and identify the critical questions in the field. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Brote de dengue en San Jose de Guaribe, Venezuela: reporte preliminar

Comunicamos nuestra experiencia de un brote de dengue en el Municipio San José de Guaribe, Estado Guárico a mediados de Septiembre y comienzo de Octubre de 1990. Un total de 97 casos sin muertes y el estudio serológico en una muestra problacional mostró virus tipo 2. La pronta intervención y la efectividad de las medidas de control, una atención médica oportuna y un diagnóstico scrológico temprano contribuyeron al control del brote. Esta es la primera descripción de un brote de dengue en el Estado Guárico, Venezuela.

American tripanosomiasis: a study on the prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma cruzi-like organisms in wild rodents in San Luis province, Argentina

INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. Wild and perianthropic mammals maintain the infection/transmission cycle, both in their natural habitat and in the peridomestic area. The aim of this paper was to present the results from a study on wild rodents in the central and northern regions of San Luis province, Argentina, in order to evaluate the prevalence of this infection. METHODS: Sherman traps were set up in capture areas located between latitudes 32º and 33º S, and longitudes 65º and 66º W. The captured rodents were taxonomically identified and hemoflagellates were isolated. Morphological, biometric and molecular studies and in vitro cultures were performed. Infection of laboratory animals and histological examination of the cardiac muscle and inoculation area were also carried out. Parasites were detected in circulating blood in Calomys musculinus, Graomys griseoflavus, Phyllotis darwini and Akodon molinae. The parasites were identified using biological criteria. Molecular PCR studies were performed on some isolates, which confirmed the characterization of these hemoflagellates as Trypanosoma cruzi. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Forty-four percent of the 25 isolates were identified as Trypanosoma cruzi, and the remaining 56% as Trypanosoma cruzi-like. These findings provide evidence that wild rats infected with Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma cruzi-like organisms are important in areas of low endemicity.
