The aim of this study was to update the epidemiological information of brucellosis in the province of Formosa, Argentina, based on records from the Research and Transfer Centre during the 2018-2021 period. In total, 151 218 samples of bovine sera from 1953 establishments in the province of Formosa were serologically analysed. Data analysis was done using logistic regression. The presence of spatial association clusters for populations with heterogeneous distribution was evaluated by scanning a data group less than 50% of the population at risk. The distribution of herds positive for brucellosis was assumed as a Bernoulli distribution. The prevalence of bovine brucellosis was 0.88%, while that of herds positive for brucellosis was 17.1%. The intra-herd prevalence was 5.73% (95% CI 0.34-24.18%). In 2018, a prevalence of 0.44% was observed with increases in 2019 (1.77%) and 2021 (0.52%). T...

To date there were no reports of the history of Ancylostoma pluridentatum that was described in Italy, on the basis of Brazilian specimens in 1905. The only two further autochthonous references of the species occurred in 1910 and 2008, respectively, with no previous historical data during those 98 years in which the species was ignored in Brazil; in the present note, the occurrence of A. pluridentatum in the Americas is briefly accounted, on what concerns geographical distribution and hosts. In South America, A. pluridentatum is referred in the southeast (Atlantic Forest) and north (Amazon rain forest) regions of Brazil, in Argentina (Formosa Province) and in Colombia (Choco, Nariño); in Central America is cited in Panama (Achiote, Colon) and in North America in north, southern and south regions of Florida.

La Transformación Digital en el territorio deviene como expresión singular de un constructo único, pues requiere atender a las características peculiares de su entorno, considerando la construcción de un “inédito viable”. Como un intangible, es resultado de la consideración de las necesidades de los actores del Triángulo de Sábato, y la puesta en diálogo de sus capacidades, desafíos y obstáculos en la gestión vinculada tecnológicamente. En ese marco se plantea como objetivo identificar las condiciones necesarias para constituir un observatorio específico que valide la metodología prospectiva apropiada, de manera que sea contribuyente en la construcción de una Agenda para la ejecución del Plan Estratégico de Transformación Digital de la Provincia de Formosa. Se realiza una descripción del ecosistema digital utilizando un fondo bibliográfico especializado disponib...
