We present a new implementation of TCP that is better suited to today’s Internet than TCP Reno or Tahoe. Our implementation of TCP, which we call TCP Santa Cruz, is designed to work with path asymmetries, out-of-order packet delivery, and networks with lossy links, limited bandwidth and dynamic changes in delay. The new congestion-control and error-recovery mechanisms in TCP Santa Cruz are base...

Biomphalaria amazonica Paraense, 1996 was collected from a permanent pond in the outskirts of the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz. Identification of the collected specimens was made by comparison with the original description of the species and with topotypic material in the collection of Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that these Bolivian specimens belong to B. amazonica.

Intradermal reactions were performed in 399 individuals by using, simultaneously, the antigen produced by both the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and Fundação Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Each of these antigens was manufactured with promastigotes of Leishmania (L) amazonensis (IFLA/BR/67/PH8). The Fundação Oswaldo Cruz antigen caused a larger number of positive reactions. Discordant reactions ...
