Faecal samples collected from 300 Bolivian marsupials (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) between 1984 and 1993 were examined for coccidian parasites. Sporulated oocysts were present in the faeces of 50 (17%) marsupials representing 11 genera and 22 species. Three new species of Eimeria are described and named from six host species. One species occurred in Marmosops dorothea, Monodelphis domestica a...

In this paper, I apply theories from the literature on corporatism to Bolivia. Despite developing the necessary policies and institutions to fully incorporate labor into the political sphere, the Movimiento Nacional Revolucionario (MNR) never achieved regime stability as the corporatist project was ultimately aborted for industrial labor and the miners. The primary cause of this failure was the...

The importance of near-surface faceted crystals in forming weak layers associated with snow avalanches has recently received greater attention. However, there is still much to be learned concerning the formation and growth of these crystal types, their geographical extent, and related avalanche activity. Here we report on a spatially extensive avalanche cycle that occurred during late September...

Abstract Fascioliasis is a freshwater snail-borne zoonotic disease. The Northern Bolivian Altiplano very high altitude endemic area where the highest human prevalences and intensities have been reported. Preventive chemotherapy by treatment campaigns yearly applied. However, liver fluke infection of cattle, sheep, pigs donkeys assures endemicity consequent re-infection risks. A One Health actio...

The financial impact of the first outbreak of Trypanosoma vivax in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland is estimated. Results are extended to include outbreaks in the Bolivian lowlands providing a notion of the potential influence of the disease and an analytical basis. More than 11 million head of cattle, valued at more than US$3 billion are found in the Brazilian Pantanal and Bolivian lowlands. The...

Specific genetic profiles of Brazilian Biomphalaria species were previously standardized by molecular taxonomy through the analysis of restriction fragments, which were generated by digesting the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA with the DdeI endonuclease. Biomphalaria amazonica displayed three distinct profiles. To investigate these distinct profiles, the same molecular technique, po...

Chonetoidea corresponds to one of the most abundant superfamilies throughout Malvinokaffric Realm (Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Antarctica, Peru and South-Central Brazil). In this paper we provided a better understanding diversity superfamily during Devonian in southern Gondwana. For Bolivian specimens, corroborate both occurrence Pleurochonetes anteloi Huamampampa Formation, that is,...
