Bovine tuberculosis in cattle has a high incidence in Uruguay, where it is considered a disease of national importance. We present the genome sequence of Mycobacterium bovis strain MbURU-001, isolated from pectoral lymph nodes of a bovine host from a cattle farm.

This paper proposes a categorization of learning design developed within the framework of virtual educational environments. It is aimed at the identification of categories and the construction of learning design patterns for courses listed in the Moodle platform of the Universidad de la República de Uruguay.

We report an outbreak of canine visceral leishmaniasis in Uruguay. Blood specimens from 11/45 dogs tested positive for Leishmania spp. Specimens of Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies were captured; typing revealed Leishmania infantum. Our findings document an expansion of visceral leishmaniasis to southern South America and risk for vectorborne transmission to humans.

The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes causes severe disease mainly in the vulnerable populations of the young, old, pregnant, and immunocompromised. Here, we present the genome sequence of L. monocytogenes H34, a serotype 1/2b, lineage I, sequence type 489 (ST489) strain, isolated from a neonatal sepsis case in Uruguay.

A survey of adult mosquitoes in the area Palmar dam, Uruguay, was conducted from October 1980 to March 1981, prior filling reservoir. The Culicidae fauna consisted 22 species 7 genera: Aedeomyia Theobald, Aedes Meigen, Anopheles Culex Linnaeus, Mansonia Blanchard, Psorophora Robineau-Desvoidy and Uranotaenia Lynch-Arribálzaga; most diverse genera being (subgenus Ochlerotatus Lynch-Arribálzaga),...
