A total of 66 specimens representing four tardigrade taxa were found in 14 moss and lichen samples collected from the bark of Jeffrey’s Pine, Pinus jeffreyi Balf., in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir (Baja California, north-western Mexico). Two taxa were identified to the species level (Echiniscus becki Schuster & Grigarick, 1966 and E. blumi Richters, 1903), and two to the genus level (Milnesium sp. and Ramazzottius sp.). These are the first tardigrade records from the state of Baja California, and they increase the known tardigrade diversity of Mexico to 84 species.

Care Problems

The rural Kumiai community of San Antonio Necua is one of the few remaining indigenous communities in Baja California, Mexico. Necuan health and health care problems are best understood through a consideration of the effects of colonialism and marginalization on indigenous groups in northern Baja California as well as a tradition of medical pluralism in Mexico. The lack of traditional healers and biomedical providers in the community, high rates of preventable or manageable illnesses, and a blend of biomedical, folk mestizo, and traditional indigenous beliefs about health and illness reflect current conditions of rural poverty and economic isolation. Descriptions of health and health care problems are based on ethnographic fieldwork among the Kumiai, their Paipai relatives, and their primary nongovernmental aid organization.
