The morphological sequence of Trypanosoma rangeli development in the body cavity of Rhodnius prolixus is described. The metacyclic trypanosome is the product of successive division and transformation during the intra and extracellular development in the haemocoele. The significance of the early invasion of T. rangeli into the haemolymph is discussed. The epidemiological importance of the developmental pattern of T. rangeli in the vectors haemolymph and the host-response to the parasite are considered.

Fez-se uma análise da distribuicão da frequência dos lisotipos VI e dos tipos fermentativos segundo o esquema de Kristensen, em 1.150 amostras de Salmonella typhi, isoladas de diferentes regiões do Brasil (Pará, Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo e Rio Grande do Sul). No computo geral, observou-se a prevalência dos lisotipos A (38,1%); Ela (18,9%); amostras VI negativas (16,6%); D6 (8,7%) I + IV (4,6%); T (2,3%) e C1 (2,1%) e a ocorrência de alguns tipos fágicos característicos para determinadas áreas (B3, C4 e 40 na Bahia; E1b, F2, G1 e L1 em São Paulo; E4 e 28 no Rio de Janeiro). Quanto a classificacão bioquímica, 55,2% das amostras caracterizaram-se no biotipo II (xilose e arabinose negativas), 44,2% no tipo fermentativo I (xilose positiva e arabinose negativas) e 0,52% no tipo III (xilose e arabinose positivas), respectivamente.

El present treball està estructurat al voltant de dos marcs teòrics: l’enoturisme i el turisme accessible, els quals es fusionen en una proposta d’introducció de l’accessibilitat al Museu de les Cultures del Vi de Catalunya. Estudi de les iniciatives d’enoturisme a Catalunya, la idoneïtat de la DO Penedès per a desenvolupar un producte d’aquest tipus i el cas d’estudi de desenvolupament local a les regions franceses d’Alsàcia i Borgonya. El turisme accessible, a partir de la discapacitat, l’accessibilitat, el disseny universal i les xifres relatives. El projecte d’enoturisme al Penedès. Els agents implicats. El cas pràctic d’accessibilitat al Museu

Treball de recerca realitzat per un alumne d’ensenyament secundari i guardonat amb un Premi CIRIT per fomentar l'esperit científic del Jovent l’any 2008. Les barraques de vinya són uns elements molt típics del paissatge de la comarca del Bages on anys enrere era el monocultiu propi de la comarca. S’han estudiat els fonaments arquitectònics que confereixen l’estabilitat d’aquestes construccions de pedra seca que, malgrat l’aparent simplicitat i fragilitat, havien de tenir una complexitat en l’estructura arquitectònica per haver aguantat des del segle XIX. També s’han estudiat altres construccions de pedra seca pròpies de la vinya, tals com la tina.

Projecte de recerca elaborat a partir d’una estada a la Stanford University entre abril i juliol del 2007. L’anàlisi de les dinàmiques socials i culturals establertes en els espais de poder de les comunitats locals sicilianes, les acròpolis, és el marc de treball que en l’actualitat s’està desenvolupant per a una futura tesi doctoral. Un estudi que intenta ometre les tradicionals lectures colonials i la perspectiva de l’hel•lenització que habitualment envolten els estudis centrats en les poblacions locals que entren en contacte amb les colònies gregues. En aquest cas, partint de la materialització del discurs de l’elit es vol analitzar com les comunitats sicilianes actuen en una complexa situació d’encontre cultural que caracteritzarà Sicília al llarg de quasi tot el Ir. M. a.C.

Bacteriophages (phages) produce endolysins (lysins) as part of their lytic cycle in order to degrade the peptidoglycan layer of the infected bacteria for subsequent release of phage progeny. Because these enzymes maintain their lytic and lethal activity against Gram-positive bacteria when added extrinsically to the cells, they have been actively exploited as novel anti-infectives, sometimes termed enzybiotics. As with other relatively small peptides, one issue in their clinical development is their rapid inactivation through proteolytic degradation, immunological blockage and renal clearance. The antipneumococcal lysin Cpl-1 was shown to escape both proteolysis and immunological blockage. However, its short plasma half-life (20.5 min in mice) may represent a shortcoming for clinical usefulness. Here we report the construction of a Cpl-1 dimer with a view to increasing both the antipneumococcal specific activity and plasma half-life of Cpl-1. Dimerisation was achieved by introducing specific cysteine residues at the C-terminal end of the enzyme, thus favouring disulphide bonding. Compared with the native monomer, the constructed dimer demonstrated a two-fold increase in specific antipneumococcal activity and a ca. ten-fold decrease in plasma clearance. As several lysins are suspected to dimerise on contact with their cell wall substrate to be fully active, stable pre-dimerised enzymes may represent a more efficient alternative to the native monomer.

We have developed and tested a new way of typing Trypanosoma cruzi, mamely the use of cloned nuclear DNA fragments as genetic markers. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms were verified on Soutern blots hybridized to random probes. Fragment patterns were analyzed and dendrograms constructed. Our results on well characterized laboratory strains correlate well to published isoenzyme studies. Some of the probes were also hybridized to chromosomes separated by pulse field gel electrophoresis a higher degree of heterogeneity was observed at this level.

Urease is an important virulence factor for Helicobacter pylori and is critical for bacterial colonization of the human gastric mucosa. Specific inhibition of urease activity has been proposed as a possible strategy to fight this bacteria which infects billions of individual throughout the world and can lead to severe pathological conditions in a limited number of cases. We have selected peptides which specifically bind and inhibit H. pylori urease from libraries of random peptides displayed on filamentous phage in the context of pIII coat protein. Screening of a highly diverse 25-mer combinatorial library and two newly constructed random 6-mer peptide libraries on solid phase H. pylori urease holoenzyme allowed the identification of two peptides, 24-mer TFLPQPRCSALLRYLSEDGVIVPS and 6-mer YDFYWW that can bind and inhibit the activity of urease purified from H. pylori. These two peptides were chemically synthesized and their inhibition constants (Ki) were found to be 47 microM for the 24-mer and 30 microM for the 6-mer peptide. Both peptides specifically inhibited the activity of H. pylori urease but not that of Bacillus pasteurii.

Ara és moment de fer balanç per veure com ha anat la darrera campanya arrossera i preparar la propera incorporant, si s’escau, els avenços tecnològics més adients per millorar la productivitat de l’arròs, en un marc sostenible de respecte al medi ambient. L’objectiu d’aquesta jornada és donar a conèixer a tot el sector productiu arrosser i a tots els agents involucrats els resultats més rellevants dels treballs desenvolupats en aquesta darrera campanya per les diferents entitats que realitzen treballs de recerca en el conreu de l’arròs al Delta de l’Ebre. Els treballs que es presentaran fan referència tant al maneig del conreu com a sanitat vegetal. Us convidem, doncs, a la present jornada que pretén ser molt divulgativa i arribar a tots els arrossers i tècnics vinculats al món de l’arròs.

The use of molecular tools to detect and type Leishmania species in humans, reservoirs or sandflies has been pursued using different approaches. The polymerase chain reaction provided sensitivity to case this task, since the use of hybridization procedures alone employing specifics probes is hampered due to the low detection limit. In this report, we describe the different molecular targets used in our laboratory, aiming at the detection and specific typing of these protozoa. Different kits based on hybridization assays and PCR amplification using kinetoplast and nuclear targets are described and the results obtained from their use are reported.
