ABSTRACT Mosquito larvae were collected in the urban area of the city of Culiacan, Sinaloa, in September of 2020. The immature stages were placed in emergence containers and fed with Aedes aegypti larvae. The adults that emerged from the immature stages were mounted on insect pins and characterized based on their morphology. The species corresponded morphologically to Toxorhynchites moctezuma, making this the first report of the species for the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Similarities and morphological variations are discussed with previous analysis for this species.

The re-use and the domestication of nature in abandoned areas is becoming a theme of increasing relevance in European (and Italian) public debate. This article uses Gilles Clément's concept of 'third landscape' to understand the transformation of an urban salt works into a public park. Salt production in Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) was suspended in 1984 because of pollution from urban sewage. Some years after abandonment, the state salt works eventually became a public park. People frequented the area before its establishment and eventually the salt works became a place for running, canoeing, walking, biking, birdwatching and other outdoor activities. The article shows how this abandoned area became a park and heritage site, though stakeholder support. It analyzes the local discourse that continues to represent and protect the area as 'green,' where nature can be enjoyed, despite its industrial heritage.Keywords: salt works, wetlands, coastal parks, European coastal cities, Sardinia

ResumenEl propósito principal de este trabajo de investigación se centra en el estudio del estado de conservación de las fachadas de 34 inmuebles pertenecientes al Catálogo de Bienes Inmuebles y Elementos Protegidos del Plan General del Ayuntamiento de Cieza (Murcia), concretamente de aquellos situados en el casco urbano, para aportar directrices que garanticen una intervención con materiales sostenibles coherente y respetuosa con el patrimonio arquitectónico de la ciudad. Evidentemente, un desarrollo correcto del estudio diagnóstico constructivo de las fachadas de inmuebles protegidos debe llevarse a cabo en 2 fases: la caracterización constructiva de la arquitectura de sus fachadas y el estudio de lesiones o estado actual que presentan las mismas. Tras analizar los 34 inmuebles se establece una metodología y un modelo sistemático para la documentación del grado de deterioro que presentan las fachadas de los inmuebles del Catálogo de la ciudad. Destacamos que los resultados de materiales propuestos en las fachadas dan unos niveles de deterioro “bajo” o “muy bajo” en el 70 % de los casos analizados, corroborándose el buen estado general de las mismas.AbstractThe main intention of this research work focus interest on the 34 building’s facade from the state of preservation belonging a Municipalities Heritage Catalogue of Cieza's Town (Murcia), it specifically those that located in the urban area from to comply with the guidelines established by sustainable materials coherent and respectful with the architectural heritage of the city. Evidently, a correct development of the diagnostic constructive study of the 34 building’s facade must be carried out in 2 phases: the constructive characterization of the architecture of his building’s facade and the study of the state of conservation or current condition that the same ones present. After analyzing 34 building’s facade methodology and a systematic model it establish for the documentation of a Municipalities Heritage Catalogue of Cieza's Town of the city. We emphasize that the results of proposed materials building’s facade give a few levels of low or very low deterioration in 70 % of the analyzed cases, there being corroborated the good general condition of the same ones.

A New Species

The new species Dicranocentrus paramoense, D. bidentatus, Heteromurus (Heteromurtrella) echinatus and H. (H.) pruinosus are described from specimens collected in the State of Mérida, Venezuela. A new species of each genus comes from a cloud forest near the city of Mérida and a new species of each taxon was collected in paramos northeast of Mérida. Congeneric species are phyletically very near and their closest relatives live in Central America and the West Indies. Dicranocentrus bidentatus is the sole species of its genus with only two teeth (the basal pair) along the inner margin of the unguis. Heteromurus (Heteromurtrella) echinatus is unique among members of its subgenus in possessing dental spines, although some individuals lack these structures. This is the first record of such intraspecific variation. Four tables detail variations of a number of characters and 41 figures complement the text.

Bryobia lagodechiana Reck, 1953, was originally found on bedstraw, or cleavers, Galium sp., growing at an elevation of about 6,890 to 7,220 feet above sea level in the Lagodekhsky reserve of the Armenian S.S.R. (Reck, 1953; Bagdasarian, 1957). A mite believed, on the basis of illustrations and descriptions only, to be the same species was found by the author in one locality in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. It was first observed on June 6, 1958, when about 10 female mites were noticed feeding on common horsetail, Equisetum arvense L., growing at an elevation of 3,300 to 3,500 feet near Orofino Creek on Mount McCaig, known locally as Orofino Mountain. The site, which was partially shaded by fairly heavy stands of tall coniferous trees, was somewhat boggy, and would undoubtedly be flooded during the spring run-off of Orofino Creek. Luxurious pure stands of this horsetail are common in such sites and, except for moss, it is often the predominant plant in many creek-bottom areas. An additional 20 female mites were collected at the same site on June 12, 1958. No males, or immature stages, were seen on either date. This is the first record outside southern Russia of the occurrence of a mite closely resembling B. lagodechiana, and the first report of the occurrence of any species of Bryobia on plants of the family Equisetaceae. The slide-mounted specimens are in the Canadian National Collection.

Historicamente o desenvolvimento urbano e econômico vivenciado no Brasil tem favorecido a proliferação do Aedes Aegypti, mosquito causador da febre chikungunya.  Assim, este estudo objetiva descrever e analisar a distribuição espacial dos casos de febre chikungunya, na área urbana de Mossoró-RN, buscando as possíveis correlações entre a vulnerabilidade socioambiental da população e a incidência da doença. Foi desenvolvido em duas Unidades de Pronto Atendimento (UPA) do município de Mossoró-RN, Brasil, a partir da obtenção dos endereços dos indivíduos identificados como caso de febre chikungunya atendidos no período de 2015 a 2017 e da realização de visitas in loco nos bairros onde se identificou o maior número de casos da doença. Foram obtidos 2878 endereços dos indivíduos atendidos na UPA Conchecita Ciarlini e 1260 dos atendidos na UPA Raimundo Benjamim Franco. A geocodificação da localização dos endereços foi realizada através do uso do Geocode Cells e para a espacialização das coordenadas geográficas foi utilizado o software livre QGIS 2.18 “Las Palmas”. A espacialização dos casos foi feita a partir da estimativa de densidade Kernel. Observou-se uma maior incidência da febre chikungunya nos bairros Santo Antônio, Barrocas, Bom Jardim, Paredões, Boa Vista, Lagoa do Mato, Alto da Conceição, Belo Horizonte e Aeroporto. O estudo mostrou quais as regiões da cidade necessitam de maiores investimentos em ações de combate a febre chikungunya e identificou que existe maior incidência da doença em bairros vulneráveis e com saneamento precário, demonstrando a necessidade de ações intersetoriais de curto, médio e longo prazo.  Spatial Distribution of Chikungunya Fever Cases in the Urban Area of Mossoró-RN and its Correlation with Socio-environmental Vulnerability A B S T R A C T Historicaly, the urban and economic development experienced in Brazil has favored the proliferation of Aedes Aegypti, a mosquito that causes chikungunya fever. Thus, this study aims to describe and analyze the spatial distribution of chikungunya fever cases, in the urban area of Mossoró-RN, looking for possible correlations between the population’s socio-environmental vulnerability and the incidence of the disease. It was developed in two Emergency Care Units (ECU) in the municipality of Mossoró-RN, Brazil, from obtaining the addresses of individuals identified as a case of chikungunya fever attended in the period from 2015 to 2017 and conducting on-site visits in the neighborhoods where the highest number of cases were identified. 2878 addresses were obtained form individuals attended at ECU Conchecita Ciarlini and 1260 from those attended at ECU Raimundo Benjamim Franco. The geocoding of the addresses’ location was carried out using Geocode Cells and for the spatialization of the geographical coordinates, the free software QGIS 2.18 “Las Palmas” was used. The spatialization of the cases was made from the Kernel density estimate. A higher incidence of chikungunya fever was observed in the neighborhoods of Santo Antônio, Barrocas, Bom Jardim, Paredões, Boa Vista, Lagoa do Mato, Alto da Conceição, Belo Horizonte and Aeroporto. The study showed which regions of the city need greater investments in actions in order to com bat chikungunya fever and identified that there is a higher incidence of the diseases in vulnerable neighborhoods with poor sanitation, demonstrating the need for short, medium and long-term intersectoral actions.Keywords: Chikungunya Fever, Spatial Analysis, Geocoding, Emerging Communicable Diseases, Vulnerability

Abstract The present study provides the first record of an isopod parasite (Artystone trysibia) on Caquetaia spectabilis, a cichlid from the eastern Amazon collected in the State of Amapá, northern Brazil. In May 2018, specimens of C. spectabilis were collected in the lower Jari River, and 33.3% were parasitized by A. trysibia on the tegument tissue between pelvic fins. No hemorrhage or injury signals were observed in the tegument of the host. This study also expanded the distribution of A. trysibia to the eastern Amazon.

The objective of this report is to describe the first record of Desmodus rotundus in urban area from the city of Olinda, Pernambuco State, Northeastern Brazil, and to draw attention to the possible risk of rabies transmission in this place. After the complaint of a dog owner who observed three bats attacking his dog, images registering attacks of D. rotundus were captured with a video camera. From 09:00 p.m. on 13 February 2004 to 04:00 a.m. of the next day, a high frequency of haematophagic activity and the presence of several bites on the dog's body were observed. This finding represents a serious risk to public health. Thus, it is necessary to further study the bat fauna, with special attention to their feeding behaviour in this place, in order to better know their biology and to adopt pertinent control measures. This is, to our knowledge, the first record of D. rotundus in urban area of Olinda.
