En relación a las vías romanas y mansiones del territorio provincial de Albacete

Las fuentes antiguas itinerarias que proporcionan datos sobre las comunicaciones romanas del área geográfica correspondiente al actual territorio provincial de Albacete son, el Itinerario de Antonino, los Vasos de Vlcarello y el Anónimo de Rávena. Pero a estas vías mencionadas en dichas fuentes, habrá que añadir otros trazados no atestiguados en los itinerarios de época clásica, como es el caso de la ruta Corduba-Saguntum, y cuyo estudio arqueológico permitirá Ir completando el sistema de comunicaciones en época romana de este ámbito territorial, cuya situación le convertirá en zona de paso obligado entre la costa, el interior y la alta Andalucía.The sources of oíd itineraríes that provide Information on the Román Communications within the geographical área corresponding today to the province of Albacete are: the Antonino Itinerary, the Vicarello Vases and the Anonymous of Ravena. But apart from the routes mentioned in these sources, there are others not included in the itineraríes of the classic period, such as the Corduba- Saguntum route, an archeological study of which will provide further knowledge of the system of Communications that existed in Román times in this territory, the location of which makes it a natural passage between the coast, inland and upper Andalucía

Sobre los municipia del ámbito territorial castellano-manchego

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto fundamental, el análisis de aquellos núcleos que alcanzarían en época romana estatuto municipal dentro del actual ámbito geográfico castellanomanchego. Así pues, mientras Segobriga, Valeria y Ercavica son considerados municipos augusteos, otros sin embargo como Laminium, Consabura, etc., son de época flavia. A estos núcleos se añaden otros que es probable llegasen a alcanzar condición privilegiada, y de datación más dudosa.The fundamental goal of this study is the analysis of those centres of the Román Empire that would be considered municipalities, within the present geographical área of Castilla- La Mancha. While Segobriga, Valeria and Ercavica are considered to be Augustan municipalities, others such as Laminium and Consabura are from the Flavian period. To these centres we may add others that probably acquired privileged status, making it difficult to date them accurately

Urban landscape and infection risk in free-roaming cats

Altres ajuts: Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) CEECIND/01428/2018. FEDER UID/AMB/50017/2019Despite public concern on the role of free-roaming cats as reservoirs of zoonotic agents, little is known about the influence of urban and peri-urban landscapes on the exposure risk. We evaluated the seroprevalence of three zoonotic agents (Chlamydia felis, Coxiella burnetii and Toxoplasma gondii) in domestic cats (Felis catus). Two hundred and ninety-one free-roaming cats were trapped in Murcia municipality (Southeast Spain), and their sera were tested for specific antibodies against T. gondii using a modified agglutination test (MAT), and for C. felis, C. burnetii and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibodies with ELISA technique. Pathogen seroprevalence at 95% CI was calculated for each sex and age category (up to and over 12 months) and compared with a chi-squared test. The role of human population density and urban landscape characteristics on the risk of pathogen exposure in the cat population was explored using generalized linear models. Seropositivity against a single pathogen was found in 60% of the cats, while 19% was seropositive for two or three pathogens. Seroprevalence of C. felis was 8% (CI: 5-11), 37% (CI: 31-42) for C. burnetii and 42% (CI: 36-47) for T. gondii. In addition to these three pathogens, FIV seropositivity was low (1%, CI: −0.1 to 2) and adult cats were more likely to be seropositive to C. burnetii than young individuals (OR: 2.3, CI: 1.2-4.2). No sex or age class differences in seroprevalence were observed for the rest of the pathogens. Seropositivity was correlated with water surface areas for C. felis, and not with crop areas. Coxiella burnetii seropositivity was correlated with the percentage of urban areas (continuous with only buildings and discontinuous, that include buildings, parks, and pedestrian and urban green areas), human population size and peri-urban areas with shrubs, and not correlated with other agricultural landscapes (orchards and crop areas). However, the seroprevalence of T. gondii was only associated with agricultural landscapes such as orchards. The detection of hotspot areas of high pathogen exposure risk is the basis for municipal services to implement surveillance and risk factor control campaigns in specific-risk areas, including (a) efficient health management of urban cat colonies by geographical location, population census and health status monitoring of the components of each cat colony, (b) improvement of hygiene and sanitary conditions at the feeding points of the cat colony and (c) free-roaming cat trapping for health monitoring and, in the long term, to know the evolution of the health status of their populations
