This book covers current aspects of important infectious diseases affecting human and animal health in Latin American countries. Readers are equipped with details on arthropod vectors as well as on neglected health problems. Diseases covered include Neglected Tropical Diseases such as Chagas Disease, schistosomiasis, tungiasis, myiasis and leishmaniasis, but also Zika and Chikungunya viral infections, plague and yellow fever. One focus is given on parasitic transmission routes. In addition, the authors describe current therapeutic options and sustainable control measures, considering both human and animal health. By highlighting options within the interdisciplinary One Health approach, they round off this work into a cutting-edge reference for diverse expert readers. Scientists and clinicians concerned on public health, entomology, tropical medicine and parasitology not only in Latin America will find this collection particularly valuable. Finally, these contributions are essential in the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and the targets of SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) in order to combat and end epidemics of Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Schistosomiasis is a major health problem in many tropical areas in the world. This neglected tropical disease is endemic in 78 countries and affects over 250 million worldwide. In 2021 the World Health Organization published the document “Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021−2030”, which established as goals for schistosomiasis (i) elimination of the disease as a public health problem in 78 affected countries by 2030, and (ii) elimination of transmission in 25 endemic countries by 2030. However, to achieve these goals, it is necessary to better understand the disease and its dynamics, the parasite's immunobiolo...

Facilmente pode-se constatar a carência de estudos na historiografia rio-grandense sobre as oposições políticas e, quando tratadas, comumente, as análises debruçam-se sob a ótica da sua participação nos conflitos armados. Eduardo Rouston Junior enfrenta esse tema neste livro, oriundo de sua dissertação de mestrado, a partir de uma abordagem das disputas de poder envolvendo as oposições nos debates parlamentares, o que por si só já seria uma contribuição importante para a historiografia regional, mas este livro vai além. Ao tratar da atuação parlamentar dos Deputados Federalistas que atuaram na Assembleia dos Representantes, entre 1913 e 1924, em oposição aos castilhistas, o autor evidencia a combatividade ao marcar as posições políticas das oposições centrando a análise nos discursos de suas principais lideranças na Assembleia. Dessa forma, rompe assim com as leituras monolíticas da política gaúcha centradas no castilhismo e nos embates belicosos. Prof. Dr. Cássio Albernaz
